The beauty of the seasons takes us from winter to spring and soon, summer! In celebration of the season, we can enjoy the beach at our lakes, rivers, and a bit further away at the ocean. To remind us of their breathtaking views with sandy shores, blue-green waters, gentle breezes and the rhythmic sound of waves year-round, please join us to design and create your own custom pair of beach-inspired fused glass plates.

Glass artist Susan Tracy will guide students through the first steps of making a pair of 6″ fused glass plates using glass sheet, frit, stringer, and sparkly dichroic glass. These plates are perfect for appetizers, desserts, or simply displaying on a table to admire. While designing their plates, students will learn more about the art of glass fusing and slumping, which takes place after class in the instructor’s studio.
