In this six-week class, students of all skill levels—from curious beginners to experienced glassartists, jewelry makers, bead artists, and flameworkers—will explore the excitingpossibilities of fused glass jewelry design.Each week, we will play with the magic of glass—combining dichroic sparkle, silver foilaccents, Bullseye glass layering, and surprising color reactions that happen whencompatible glasses and metals meet in the kiln. Students will discover how to use theseeffects intentionally to create depth, shimmer, contrast, and one-of-a-kind fused jewelrycomponents.While everyone should leave the class with beautiful finished jewelry pieces,experimentation is part of the creative process—and sometimes that means a fewsurprises or failures along the way. All in all, this class is about having fun, getting thecreative juices flowing, and enjoying the journey of discovery.Through coldworking techniques, students will learn how to shape and refine theirpieces into elegant, wearable forms with a polished aesthetic. Findings will be providedso students can complete select pieces and leave with finished jewelry ready to wear,gift, or use as inspiration for future work.Discover how exciting it can be to turn glass, color, and light into jewelry that is truly oneof a kind.What to Expect: Students will create fused jewelry components.

The organization provides access to and an education in glass for professional artists, seniors, students, and members of the public of all backgrounds and familiarity with the material. We offer year-round free and low-cost programming through our 17,000 square foot studios, robust class schedule, fellowship and scholarship opportunities, exhibition center, and in-house printed magazine.Founded in 1977 by a group of dedicated artists, UrbanGlass sought to confront the many barriers limiting creative access to glass such as the high costs of real estate, equipment, and the scarcity of technical expertise. From the organization’s conception it served as it does today: As a creative hub and unparalleled resource center for artists, enabling this material to become available for experimentation beyond the confines of factories and universities in New York City for the first time. Today, glass is seen as an integral component of contemporary art’s complex landscape." } ] } ] ```
