Location: Classroom + Glass Studio (DIYcave) | 444 SE 9th St, Bend, OR, 97702

Description:

Create something small, meaningful, and full of personality in this hands-on fused glass workshop.

In this class, you’ll design a set of 9 one-of-a-kind glass hearts using colorful frit (crushed and powdered glass) layered into casting molds. This process allows you to build soft blends, bold color combinations, or intricate patterns—each piece turning out completely unique.

This class is approachable for beginners and a fun way to explore a different side of glass. Instead of cutting sheet glass, you’ll focus on color, composition, and texture—letting the material do the magic as it melts and transforms in the kiln.

Whether you’re creating a gift, a keepsake, or just enjoying a creative night out, this class is all about slowing down, experimenting, and making something meaningful with your hands.

Your pieces will be kiln-fired after class and ready for pickup at a later date.

What you’ll do:

• Design and build glass hearts using frit and accessory glass

• Explore color blending, layering, and simple decorative techniques

• Create multiple small pieces to take home after firing

You’ll leave with:

A set of 9 custom fused glass hearts (kiln-fired and ready for pickup later)

Perfect for: Beginners, plant lovers, and anyone looking for a creative and functional project.

Glass fusing is the process of joining compatible sheet glasses together in a kiln until the glass fuses at approximately 1490 degrees Fahrenheit. It grants you the power to create colorful, dynamic works of glass art that are completely unique. Unlike many other glass forms, glass fusing allows you as much time as you need to bring your designs to life since you are working with the glass while it is cold.

Your fused glass projects will stay at the studio after the workshop to be fired in our kiln. We will notify you as soon as they’re ready to be picked up! *Shipping is available for an additional cost.

All materials and tools included.
