I460 | Playing with pot melts: Recycled glass art
Advertisement
One of the most exciting benefits of fused glass is its remarkable recyclable potential. Whether glass has been previously fused or set aside in the “scrap” pile, if it is COE-compatible, it can be reimagined into fresh, custom material and become part of an entirely new masterpiece.
In this two-part workshop, participants will spend the first evening transforming cast-off 96 COE glass into stunning, one-of-a-kind hot glass rondels known as pot melts. Through the firing process, colour and movement naturally emerge, creating swirling, organic glass disks that are impossible to replicate.
Inspired by their newly created pot melts, participants will return the following week to cut, compose, and fuse these unique elements into a finished artwork — choosing to create a picture, panel, or small sculptural piece that highlights the dynamic patterns within the glass.
Each participant will complete one finished fused glass artwork, either a 10-inch round or an 8-inch x 10-inch rectangular piece.
All project materials and firings are included.
Display hardware is not included.
When: Thursdays, January 22, and 29, 2026, from 7 to 10 pm
Fee: $295 + HST (includes all project materials and firings)
No beginner fusers, please — some prior glass fusing experience is required.
