About this Event

Join glass artist Irene Vangsness of Midsummer Glassworks (@midsummerglassworks) to learn the basics of fused glass art and create three holiday ornaments in a mix of styles. The design is up to you — be as creative or nontraditional as you like. If you've been interested in fused glass but intimidated by the techniques involved, let Irene introduce you to this stunning craft.

In this workshop, students will learn:

  • How to handle glass safely
  • Glass cutting techniques
  • Project planning, layout, and construction
  • The various forms of glass, color/opacity/frits
  • Principles of glass fusing, time/temperature/what happens in the kiln/what is COE (coefficient of expansion).

All tools and materials will be provided. Irene will fire the ornaments in her studio kiln, and. completed projects will be available for pickup 2 to 3 days later at Locally Crafted or Locally Crafted Workshop.

Irene is a glass artist with 15 years of experience. She exhibits and sells in local art fairs, and sells her pieces in four handcraft shops. See her work on Instagram at @midsummerglassworks.

Crafters as young as 14 are welcome to attend, but any participant under 18 but must be accompanied by an adult. ALL participants must purchase a ticket.
