90-Minute Introductory Workshop |

Unleash your creativity through the luminous art of glass fusing. In this beginner-friendly 1.5-hour class, you'll design and create a simple yet stunning square glass light catcher using a variety of glass materials and layering techniques.

You’ll work with:

• Fusible sheet glass – the base for your project, available in multiple colors

• Glass frit – crushed glass in different grain sizes for texture and shading

• Stringers and rods – thin, colorful glass strands for detailed linework

• Dichroic glass – shimmering, reflective pieces that add sparkle and depth

• Glass powders – for soft gradients and painterly effects

Under the guidance of our instructor, you’ll cut, layer, and arrange your design before it’s kiln-fired to fuse into a solid form. No experience is necessary, and all tools and materials are included.

Please note:
• No refunds or reschedules
• Classes may be full on weekends
• Seating together is not guaranteed for late arrivals
• Street parking only – allow extra time
• Located at 1142 W 18th St., Chicago (next to Bobijoa Korean Kitchen)
