About

The art of glass cutting is fascinating, exciting, and empowering when you're successful. When you're not, it can stop you in your tracks and be very expensive. You can master this art with a few simple tricks, and some patience. This class is highly recommended for those new to the Glass Arts Studio, particularly for stained glass or fusing.

Your instructor, co-owner of a respected local glass studio, will focus on basic techniques, circle cutting, curves, strip cutting, and more while allowing plenty of time for practice and personal attention. After demonstrations, conversation, and practice, you will have a better understanding of techniques and tools that make cutting glass a breeze.

Details

A $10 materials fee, included in the cost of this class, covers everything you'll need.

Class Policies

  • Ages 14 and up are welcome.
  • Wear close-toed shoes and long pants in the Glass Studio at all times.
