Instructor: Pat Sullivan
What is a Breeze Chime? A wind chime that can withstand a breeze, but not a gale! In this 2-part workshop, students will learn the basics of working with fused glass, such as cutting and shaping the glass, applying frit (finely ground glass), and layering different colors to create a design. They will also learn about proper safety practices when working with the specialized equipment needed for fused glass, such as breakers and cutters. Pat will guide you through the process of planning and composing your Breeze Chime design, and will provide tips and techniques for choosing and combining different colors and textures of glass. Once you’ve assembled your wind chime, you’ll learn how it will be fired in a kiln to fuse the glass together. In the second portion of the workshop, we will assemble the wind chimes, using wire and beads. Your completed Breeze Chime will be ready to take home and display! No glass cutting experience required. Safety glasses and masks will be provided if working with powdered glass. Closed-toe shoes will be required.
