In this one-day workshop students will be designing and creating 4 decorated glass panels to replace the plain glass supplied in a store-bought lantern.

This workshop is perfect for all levels of experience. We will begin the day by learning about the different tools and types of glass used in glass fusing and you will learn to cut glass with confidence. After the basics, we will focus on coming up with design ideas for your panels – some ideas are florals, seasons, geometric, plants and variations of an object. The sample lantern has different sailboats on each panel. We will take a break for lunch (there is a refrigerator and microwave available) and then spend the afternoon making our lantern panels.

Materials and firing schedules are supplied for this project with Additional materials and firing schedules available for purchase.

Please wear close-toed shoes, comfortable clothes and an apron.
