Jack has really come up with a clever way to combine 3 Dichroic Jewelry classes into one!

The third session will be attaching various jewelry findings to complete your projects.

 Some of us have had a blast making these awesome sets! Your party table will never be the same! What will be the topic of discussion- the eatables? OR,the super fabulous dishes, holding all those yummy goodies! Use your Recipe Holder to hold copies of your recipe for them to take home! Bazinga! You will need a lot of glass, as your bowl & plates will be at least 2 layers. Bring tools & glue.

Bring your 96 COE Scrap, full or half sheets of color, dichro or fused cabochons. This is a fun, quick and not too dirty class!

In this class you will make two different tissue box covers, one large and one small. To further accessorize your bath, you will make a soap & guest towel tray. This beautiful tray can also be used for cheese & crackers. When you come to class, bring (2) tissue boxes. A large and a small, of your choice. We will need those to make templates, as all manufacturers use different sizes. You be using only 96 COE glass for these projects. When class is completed, you should end up with three projects. Supplies required for this class are: ALL your cutting and breaking tools. Pattern paper & carbon paper. Sharpie Pens. Elmer's Clear Gel Glue. Regular scissors. Morton System (optional).

 Possibly, one of the coolest way to use your 96 COE scrap glass. Learn to make beautiful, one of a kind fused glass components that can be used alone or as part of a larger project.

Picture Frame should be of wood. Keep in mind, that the weight of the fused glass and frame can get heavy. Frame size will determine the size of project you want. Your design will be applied and fused to a 96 COE background glass of your choice. This is a good time to use your 96 scraps. Go abstract or use a pattern. We will have some new "Fantasy" type patterns to use or start thinking about your own possibilities. Bring glass cutting and breaking tools and Gel Glue. The pictures shown are just a small sample of what can be done. More patterns will be available and pictures just don't do these justice!! 10 patterns are now available!

This class will require A LOT of Noodles & Stringers, clear 96 glass and time. Many of you have seen the various projects around the shop and many of you want to know how to do it. BUT, how many are willing to take the ultimate plunge and "invest" the time and mass quantities of money to make a truly one of a kind, unique show piece? Melanie and I have spent more time and resources on these amazing beauties and now you can learn the different techniques to achieve the look you want. You'll have your choice of sizes ranging from 8" square to 12" square.
Then you'll choose the mold for slumping.

These "slinky" little gal suncatchers are packing some eye catching appeal and attitude. You will be using 96 coe glass, so some scrap could go along way.

You will be getting your pieces ready for the kiln in the first session and then putting your gals together with colorful wire and other adornments. Bring your glass cutting and breaking tools.

Blue + yellow= ?? How many times have you noticed a mysterious dark line where a blue glass stripe runs along a yellow stripe? That is reactive glass at work - those surprise color changes obtained when two colors touch or overlap during fusing. In this class you will find out how wonderful glass reaction can be. Spectrum & Uroboros have come together and provided glass, frits, stingers & noodles that react with certain colors. There are numerous interactive colors and we will discuss the many ways to obtain these unexpected, exciting and striking results. You will be able to use the special reactive glasses or play with the regular 96 fusing glass or both! Is it predictable? Not entirely. Is it fun? Yes! Is it worth messing with the whole color thing? Absolutely! Bring a sheet of 10x10 96 clear for your base. Good colors to use for this class include many blues, greens and teal, both opaque and transparent. Also bring yellows and amber's. Bring your glass cutting & breaking tools.

More Adventures with reactive glass - we will explore further the exciting color changes that can be seen when certain colors touch or overlap during fusing. It's a good time to dive in and use the special reactive glasses, if you didn't give them a try in Reactive Glass 101. Now that you have had a little experience with this technique, the options will be more complex. Again, you may bring clear 96 glass for the base plus blues, greens, blue greens, yellows, reds and oranges and, of course reactive sheet glass if you choose. Prerequisite: Reactive Glass 101. Bring your tools!
