fused glass candy or sushi dishes
instructed by joni esser-stuart
Joni Esser-Stuart will be teaching a three hour fused glass dish making class! Each student will use a 6 x 6 black glass palette to design either a candy dish or a sushi dish using other fusible glass as decorative elements. The students’ projects will be fired twice to achieve the desired outcome and therefore the final finished projects will be available approximately two weeks after the first class session. The pickup date will be determined at a mutually agreed time during the first class session.
All participants must wear closed toed shoes to attend the workshop! There is a $25 materials fee for this workshop which must be paid to the instructor via cash or check at the beginning of the workshop.
