About

Frit (ground fusible glass), combined with foliage, creates delicate organic images that will complement your food presentation or anything you might imagine.

In the first session, you'll have an introduction to cutting glass and you'll learn about the necessary safety and cleanup practices when it comes to using glass powders. Then, with step-by-step instruction, you'll practice the process of layering frit to colorize the dried foliage you've  chosen to decorate your dishware.

Details

This class is focused on best practices for cutting and shaping glass.
