About This Class

Create a playful, sculptural Fused Glass Cactus Garden while learning the fundamentals of glass fusing and slumping 🌵🔥

In this hands-on class, you’ll explore how flat sheet glass transforms into dimensional forms using heat and a little kiln magic. You’ll learn the basics of glass cutting and fusing, along with how glass reacts to heat and why compatibility matters.

Starting with a clear glass base, you’ll design and assemble a cactus garden using colorful glass elements. Your pieces will be kiln-fused to create dimension, texture, and form—resulting in a vibrant, low-maintenance glass garden that never needs watering.

We’ll cover scoring and breaking techniques, fabrication methods and the firing and annealing process so you understand what’s happening at every stage in the kiln. Glass fusing joins compatible sheet glass in a kiln at approximately 1490°F, allowing layers of glass to melt together into a single, unified piece.

One of the joys of fused glass is that all the creative work happens while the glass is cold, giving you time to experiment, adjust, and play with color and composition before firing. By the end of the class, you’ll have a finished fused glass cactus garden and a solid foundation in fusing techniques to inspire future projects.

No green thumb required—just curiosity and a love of color. 🌈
