Obsessed with patterns in glass? This class is for you!
Using Bullseye glass, we'll unlock endless creative possibilities as we fuse layers of vibrant glass in the kiln. After cutting and shaping in the coldshop, we'll fuse again to create complex patterned forms. Through carving and polishing, we'll transform these fused glass parts into beautifully detailed surfaces. Join us for a journey where the art of glass meets the joy of experimentation—perfect for those eager to blend precision with playfulness!
Open to all levels.
Students can expect to create vibrant fused glass art in this class. Students will learn a large array of kilnforming techniques, coldworking, and tutorials on how to create nuanced surface treatments in glass to make sculptural objects or utilitarian forms!

How to choose: Glass Experience, or Studio Class?

Check out our Glass ExperiencesIf you’ve never interacted with art glass before and just want a casual introduction to the medium, you’ll want to book a Glass Experience. These are half-day sessions that are a lot of fun, whether solo or with a group.
These make for great team-building events, and we also have seasonal experiences where you can make pieces that are season or holiday-specific.
If you have a Groupon for BAGI, then the Glass Experience is for you—book here.

Check out our Studio ClassesIf you’re ready to dig deep and start on the right path to becoming a proficient glass artist, you’ll want to book a Studio Class.
