Beginner Level Workshop

Learning how to cut basic shapes and follow a line; familiar with basic tools and supplies. Fusers understand full, contour, tack, slump firing programs.

In this class you will have a choice between 2 different fish.  Choose the colors for the fish you want to make.

You will need a 9x12 tile which can be checked out before the class.  Instructor will provide a template for each fish.  You will need papyros paper for the tile, a sheet of 6x8 clear and any other glass color and embellishments you want to use for your fish.  I will say one is on the easier side to make the other is on the harder side.  Grinding glass for these fish is discouraged.
