Explore the art of fused glass and create a piece of holiday art. Using pre-cut pieces of glass along with frit (ground glass), pebbles, and other glass items, you will design your own unique festive piece of curved glass art. Make a festive keepsake for the future – or to give as a holiday gift.

Once you’ve completed your piece, it will be fused in a kiln and slumped to create the curve. Your holiday art will be ready for pick-up within 2 weeks.

INSTRUCTOR NAME: Kathy Nelson
Kathy was first inspired by glass art after a European tour where she saw “the most magnificent glasswork in the stained-glass windows of ancient cathedrals”. Then she found glass art to be a way to decompress from her intense job in neuropsychology—a 25-year career helping people recover from traumatic brain injuries. She said: “While working in the medium, I could concentrate completely on the project, sometimes using the other side of my brain to help solve a problem at work from a different perspective.” Today she enjoys working with students and has developed a variety of classes that help others appreciate the world of glass.
