Learn to combine flame-working with fusing that will bring your work to a new level. This class will focus on making “design elements” in the torch, allowing you to produce fused glass that really stands out. After warming up with demos and practice time in the flame studio, students will “cross over” to the warm shop, designing and firing projects using flame-worked elements. Techniques will be shown to help create imagery that isn’t possible with standard fusing materials. Discussions will cover equipment setup and operation.

No experience is required, but many techniques will be useful for experienced students.
