Glass Fusion is back!
A perfect beginner class! We will be learning the art of glass fusion and making a holiday tree shape (tree design is up to you, so the design on the triangle is yours!), adding decorative elements, tack fusing it in the kiln (we do that part for you) and you can pick it up complete with it’s own solid wood base the next day.
