#135- THE
FLAMEWORKING COURSE This is a full one-day six hour extravaganza
designed for those with no experience in melting glass in a torch. This class is totally
hands-on; every student will have their own torch and equipment and class
size will be a maximum of three students per class! Great student to teacher
ratio! Topics covered include forming a basic bead, pulling
stringers, shaping, making dots, as well as all the regular boring stuff like
safety, annealing, etc. Caryl will also cover all the tools and how to set up
your own home studio. Cost for the six hour day is $155.00, and includes instruction, equipment, glass rods (Bullseye of course), kiln space and hand tools. Class size is very limited, so book early.

#113- THE HANDS-ON
INTRO TO FUSING This is a full one-day six hour course that has been set up to cover everything from the basics to more advanced techniques of fusing regardless of your knowledge level (you can read Mikey’s Fusing 101 Paper here). Not only will you get a cool syllabus and learn from the master herself, you will actually get to play with sharp glass and stringers and noodles and all manner of things and make as much stuff as you possibly can within that day and to have it all expertly fired by Mikey. Now pay attention 'cuzz pricing is complicated (I'll type slowly). Cost for the 6 hour day is $150.00, *but this includes a store credit of $50.00 so you can choose your own materials. We will provide instruction, coffee and kiln space. Class size is very limited, so book early. Bring a lunch.

#118A to #118J-
FUSER'S OPEN STUDIO WORKSHOP WITH PAM These workshops are designed for those who already
have some basic fusing knowledge, but need more- more information, more
technique, more guts, more kiln access and more kiln size (ours is computer
controlled and measures 26 x 40")( we also have three additional smaller
kilns for in- studio use). Get away from
annoying family members where you can create at our tables, use our
equipment, take advantage of the expertise of Pam the Studio Advisor, live on
the edge of danger and make a lot of stuff and learn some more advanced
techniques. Pam will cover everything and more related to advanced fusing
techniques, from slumping to kiln preparation and operation, to glass compatibility, to kiln carving, to using ceramic fibre
papers plus other sundries such as frit, powders and stringers, and other
inclusions. Heck, she's even planning on introducing you to how to design
your own art glass. And if that's not enough, she'll cover pate de verre, how
to make pattern bars, kiln casting, solving the problems unique to hot glass,
and on and on (like the techniques covered in Richard La Londe’s book)(lots
of
pics here)
