Be amazed by the stunning, functional pieces of art you can make by combining colorful pieces of cut glass. After learning how to work safely, you will design your own unique fused glass tile and a night light using glass pieces, powders, frits (crushed glass), and stringers (spaghetti-like glass threads). Then decorate a trivet and embellish a mirror with a gorgeous glass mosaic.

Use your imagination to bring the settings of popular books to life. We will read a new story each day and create a detailed miniature scene in a shoebox inspired by your favorite part. Use a variety of mediums such as clay, paint, markers, and popsicle sticks as your building materials. You’ll also make up your own story and craft a shoebox scene depicting its setting.
