Independent Studio is open to people that have taken at least 2 instructional classes with one of our instructors, or if you are experienced in glass fusing and would like an exception, &lt;a href="https://www.glassfusioncollective.com/fusedglass808@gmail.com?=subject%3A%20Requesting%20Exception%20to%20Enroll%20in%20Independent%20Studio" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;please email&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; us a request to join Independent Studio. Each studio session offers you a community to collaborate and share in the joy of fusing glass and making art! There is a studio monitor there to show people where studio equipment can be found, and to make sure the studio is tidy before everyone leaves. &lt;em&gt;This studio monitor is not an instructor!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Independent Studio is open to people that have taken at least 2 instructional classes with one of our instructors, or if you are experienced in glass fusing and would like an exception, &lt;a href="https://www.glassfusioncollective.com/fusedglass808@gmail.com?=subject%3A%20Requesting%20Exception%20to%20Enroll%20in%20Independent%20Studio" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;please email&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; us a request to join Independent Studio. Each studio session offers you a community to collaborate and share in the joy of fusing glass and making art! There is a studio monitor there to show people where studio equipment can be found, and to make sure the studio is tidy before everyone leaves. &lt;em&gt;This studio monitor is not an instructor!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Independent Studio is open to people that have taken at least 2 instructional classes with one of our instructors, or if you are experienced in glass fusing and would like an exception, &lt;a href="https://www.glassfusioncollective.com/fusedglass808@gmail.com?=subject%3A%20Requesting%20Exception%20to%20Enroll%20in%20Independent%20Studio" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;please email&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; us a request to join Independent Studio. Each studio session offers you a community to collaborate and share in the joy of fusing glass and making art! There is a studio monitor there to show people where studio equipment can be found, and to make sure the studio is tidy before everyone leaves. &lt;em&gt;This studio monitor is not an instructor!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
