Description: Glass fusing is the process of using a kiln to join together pieces of glass.  When the right kind of glass is heated and then cooled properly, the resulting fused glass piece will be solid and unbroken.  Glass first needs to be cut and shaped before fusing can take place.  During your first class, you will become familiar with tools and equipment used to cut glass.  The cut glass pieces will be combined and fired to create a fused glass Ikebana vase of your own design.  In the second session we will be creating a beginning ikebana using our own fused glass vase and garden flowers.  All materials, are supplied by the instructor.

Alice is an art instructor at  Rhode Island College, and RISD, she has been creating glass sculpture for many years.
