DO IT IN GLASS Fusing glass is a fun way to mix colors and create a unique piece of art. From cutting glass to firing it in a kiln, you will be proud to put your art on display. Like fused glass, stained glass requires cutting but instead of kiln firing, pieces are soldered together. Either fused glass or stained glass can use a ring saw to create intricate shapes and cutouts. Different from fusing and soldering glass, mosaic art is the arrangement of multi-media tiles to form an image. No experience needed for any of the glass courses.
