Glass Fusing (K-2) and Glass Cutting and Fusing (3-5)
Glass Fusing (K-2) and Glass Cutting & Fusing 3rd – 5th Grade are taught by Lauren Grace Slevin: Students can choose from a wide selection of art glass, to design and create pieces that will be kiln fused. They will also have access to basic glass tools. Each class will have a topic (nature, self-portrait, gift giving, etc.), but students are free to create outside of that. Finished pieces will be returned through Affirming Group Critique. Depending on each student’s level of interest, they will complete between 15 and 25 fused glass items.
