November & December Classes and Events
November 2012
Dear Sharon,
IN THIS ISSUE
The holidays are right around the corner! It is a great time of year to
begin reflecting, and glass is such a good medium for reflection! What
and who are you thankful for? In our case, it is YOU.
We had a lot of fun creating our micro mosaic pendants and will be
offering more sessions. You get a lot of bang for your buck and you can
recycle old charms and scrap glass to create your personalized pieces.
Great Holiday presents! (For those of you that have already taken the
class and want to make more, we are going to set the table up for an All
Day MicroMosaic Party on Thursday December 20th From Noon to 7:30
for $20 each pendant, which includes materials.)
Don't forget, we have plenty of Frequent Fuser sessions listed. Check
your calendar and give us a call to get on the list. Let us know if you
need to make some larger projects, we will try our best to accommodate
you.
This year we will be closed November 22, December 23, 24, 25.

This is the WOW class of the year
This 11" square basket would look great on any table, and
is fairly easy to build. You just need to select two
complimentary colors, cut your strips and assemble! The
spaces in between are empty and create a basket weave
effect. We have other samples in other colors in the studio
for your viewing pleasure. This class always fills very
quickly, so don't hesitate! Most people purchase 2 sheets
of fusing glass. ($30-45 approx).

current kiln owners. Session lasts about 1 1/2 hours.

This is one of our most popular beginning classes! It is a

pendants. Other topics of discussion include: firing theory,
assembly, and proper bail attachment. Prism will fire your
pieces and they will be available for pick up a few days
later. Basic bails are included. No experience required.
Glass Cutting 101 is recommended, but not required.
(Arrangements for larger groups of 10 available). This is the first step in your fusing experience.

base glass and must have glass cutting experience. Some
fusing experience is also recommended.

of raw glass. We will handle all the kiln firing and provide
all the materials for your masterpiece. This streamlined
class is organized in such a way that no fusing experience
is required. Basic cutting skills will allow you to be a little
more creative, but are not required.

event so that all of you that don't own a kiln have the
