Glass fusion is the latest medium SMAC has added to its varied list of art classes and workshops. What better way to learn the art than at the Summer Waves in December glass workshop taught by Kat Weltha, our resident glass guru, on December 13, from 6-8PM. She will teach you the very basics, from cutting to fusing glass. You’ll learn how to draw your pattern for a unique sun catcher. Once cut, you’ll arrange the glass pieces according to your individual pattern.This is a class for beginners, so Kat will also give you a clear understanding of the science of fusing glass and will demonstrate several tools commonly used in the process. You then get to use the tools, including a glass cutter, running pliers, grozing pliers, tweezers, fusible glue and brushes. Once finished you will have a beautiful wave sun catcher to keep the winter chill away.
Safety glasses will be required for the duration of the class, NO EXCEPTIONS. Standard prescription glasses do not count. Safety glasses and over-glasses safety glasses will be provided but if you have your own, you are encouraged to bring them.
All materials and the use of tools and kiln are included in the fee of $55. Thanks to a generous grant from the City of Hollister Parks & Recreation, Hollister residents only pay $27.50. If you live in Hollister, be sure to put Hollister in the coupon code when registering online at www.smac-art.org.
About the instructor: Kat Weltha is our newest member of the SMAC studio family. She has been working in various forms of glass for several years and now primarily focuses on fused glass and other kiln work. You can see pieces of her work in her new private studio at the art center. We hope you come by to see her work.
