November 2017 will be introducing fusing works to you:
You will be introduced to several techniques in fusing: First thing we will be doing is using a vitrigraph kiln to produce streaming hot glass into swirls of color and shapes. Manipulate the molten glass as it flows out of the bottom of the kiln to create your designs. Get your glass ready for the mold you pick out by cutting and cleaning your glass. Second class we will use to finished free formed stringers to create a totally unique bowl, plate or small platter, you will learn kiln set up and if time permitted you could cut out a bird and its wing etc. Third class you will take your pieces out of the kiln, clean them and get them ready for another kiln firing. Slumping your items in the mold of you’re choose. Then you can put together your birds. You’ll have to come back and pick up your finish pieces. Our pharmacy website collected the most stupid misconceptions about sex and sexual intercourse in principle.
Total cost for this class will be $135.00. This includes (selected glass for your projects, stringers, 2x times for kiln time, fusing instructions and materials, learning vitrigraph kiln and materials to finish your birds. This is a great class. Limited space

Our 1st year anniversary for Toy Town Stained Glass is coming up Sept 13 & 14 2014.
I want to thank all my students for participating in my classes. A year ago I started to teach stained glass to share my knowledge and enthusiasm with others in making beautiful stained glass pieces. It was a very successful year.
This year a lady Patricia Allen who has been kiln working for the past ten years is joining me to introduce kiln working. She has been to Las Vegas for the big glass expo and has taken several classes with some very well known artists Michael Dupille, Newey Fegan and Gill Reynolds. She also took classes from Peter Erickson (Silver/Gold Smith) in Gardner, Massachusetts
We are focusing on Jewelry making, slumping and fusing.
I am still offering Stained Glass Classes.
I am also stocking stained glass supplies and kiln work supplies.
Please join us for our Open House on September 13 and 14 2014 from 9:00AM – 5:00PM for more information.
