Glass Fusion Class This Week

Collage dichroic pendents in formation

Glass Fusion class this past week was piecing cutting and gluing for me.  I am beginning to run out of dichroic glass and our local supplier Lincoln has closed.  Ordering online is a bit harder because I can't pick up and hold the glass as I would like.  Now the closest local place is a city away in two directions, but not the prices won't be wholesale.  So I am using up my last bits before I have to pay retail. Glass is expensive and dichroic more so.  I started putting the pieces on a small plastic cleanup shovel to get to the cart and kiln easier.  

The large one reminds me of Superman Colors

ART SHOULD BE FUN

WHY IS IT IF SOMETHING IS FUN IT IS SUSPECT? YOU CAN LEARN AND HAVE FUN AT THE SAME TIME!

ART BRINGS PEOPLE TOGETHER NO MATTER THE CULTURE, THE AGE, OR ABILITY 


ART IS A UNIFIER NOT A DIVIDER
