Everything you wanted to know on how to start fusing glass and weren't afraid to ask!
In this Beginner Fusing Class, we cover all the basics like cutting, melting,

different types of glass react to heat and how they interact with each
other. You will learn of Coefficient of Expansion (COE) and how to use
stringers and frit. We will cover all of the important safety factors and most importantly we will discuss
firing schedules as well as how to operate a kiln - because that is where
the magic happens! This class is focused on how to work with fusing
glass and the pitfalls that you might step into so make sure to bring your
questions.

Linn was been fusing for more years than we can count and has been teaching
fusing techniques for over 5 years. Dave is the guy you find milling about
