Beginner's Dichroic Glass Class

Kiln-fired glass is an ancient art form that employs special glass called dichroic glass which sparkles with the metals with which it is made. Two layers of glass or more provide a canvass where you can create with every color of the rainbow.  Fused glass jewelry pieces are easy to create. 

        Cathryne Richards is the instructor for this fun class. Come join the Beginner's Dichroic Glass Class at the Placitas Community Center, 41 Camino de las Huertas, Placitas, NM.

The class will consist of 3 sessions.  When you register for this class, you will be registering for all 3 sessions.

        - Session 1: Thursday, August 27th
        - Session 2: Thursday, September 3rd
        - Session 3: Thursday September 10th

You will learn the creative art of glass cutting, design and lay-up.  It is important that you attend all classes.

        In the first session, you will learn how to cut glass, design and lay up the glass into a stunning pendant.  During the second session, you will be practicing cutting glass and learning about other special techniques: including “cold working” and finishing your pendant.  The final session will be the use of the Kiln, with the focus on safety.

For a total fee of $30 (for all three class sessions and kit materials), your pendant piece will be fired in a kiln and the finished piece will be your creation to take home.

Class will be limited to 15 students.
