Students will get a great introduction to the process of fusing glass during this 1 session class.

Students will be shown how to build their own set of dichroic glass cabochons (1 pair for earrings and 1 larger for pendant) ready to begin firing by the 30 minute break. Students will have the opportunity to be involved in the kiln control and watch the full-fuse firing through the viewing window of our kiln.
