Independent Studio

Independent Studio for Experienced Fused Glass Makers
Our next independent studio session starts on July 1 and goes through September 21, 2024.

There are three independent studio periods per week. Each is three hours long. There is a studio monitor in each period to ensure access to the site, show people where the equipment is, and to make sure the studio is tidy before everyone leaves. This person is not an instructor. Rather, this is an opportunity to come together with other fused glass enthusiasts to make art. Classes have a total of ten (10) participants, including the studio monitors per session.

Between each session of classes, we schedule a Studio Maintenance activity, that we ask you to participate in. You will be notified of the date soon after class begins, it's fun, and the more hands that faster the clean-up goes! The next clean up is September 21, 2024, 9 am to noon.

Glass, molds, cutters, tools, etc., can be purchased through our online store.

PLEASE NOTE: Our venue also hosts a daycare program, therefore, we try to enter the facility as a group and exit as a group. 

For more information please email: fusedglass808@gmail.com.
