Arlington Community Education

Learn the basics of glass fusing while designing and creating a large seder plate with glass sheets, frits and powders, stringers, and confetti and copper inclusions. Decorate the plate to represent the symbolic items of the Passover celebration. Your creation will be fired in the instructor’s kiln and then slumped over a special mold to give the plate its traditional shape. Tuition includes all materials. Please note: Students must wear closed toe shoes, eyeglasses or safety glasses (glasses can be provided to those who do not have them).

Turn a unique design of your creation into a gorgeous decorative panel featuring the luminosity and transparency of textured glass. First create a mold by sculpting details into layers of cut or torn heat-resistant ceramic fibers. Then accent your design with thin pieces of colored glass. Your piece will be topped with clear glass and kiln-fired to form a solid tile capturing all of the details of your mold, exactly as you handcrafted it. It will be finished with a custom-built wooden frame so that you can display your artwork.Tuition includes all materials. Please note: Tuition includes a $135 materials fee for fiber, clear and colored glass, firing, and fitting into a custom wooden frame. Additional pieces can be made for an extra fee. Students must wear closed toe shoes, eyeglasses or safety glasses (glasses can be provided to those who do not have them).
