Enjoy year-round flowers in your home with fused-glass flower bowls! Explore the art of fused glass by selecting the colors of your choice and arranging pre-cut petals into two (2) flower bowls. You’ll make your own unique blooms using frit (ground glass), stringers, and pebbles to complete your piece of art.
Your glass flower bowl will be fused in a kiln, then slumped to form a graceful flower—ready for pick-up within 2 weeks. It’s a stunning piece of art that can also be used to hold jewelry or other valuables.

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.
