2018 classes are listed below.  Confirmed classes will include the live registration link.  TBD classes will not include registration links until the class dates have been confirmed.

• Spring Glass Class - Creating Kiln-formed Glass Night Lights.  A one-day fused glass class in conjunction with Weehawken Creative Arts where each student will design, build and prepare for firing 2 glass night lights that will then be fused, slumped and mounted with lighting hardware.  Students will have access to a variety of glass styles, including frit (crushed glass) and powdered glass; transparent, opaque and dichroic glass; pre-cut shapes and characters; and stringers and noodle glass from which to experiment and create.  Each glass assembly will be kiln-fired to create a single glass piece, then will be re-fired over a mold to create the night light shape.  Lastly, the formed glass will be mounted to the lighting hardware to complete the creative process.  No glass experience required.

• Summer Glass Class - Introduction to Mosaic Forms in Fused Art Glass (tentative).  A two-day weekday workshop sponsored through the Montrose Center for the Arts.  This class will introduce the student to the basics of fused glass, including design for firing and slumping, glass cutting and assembly and the process of firing for fusing and slumping glass.  This knowledge will be used to design and construct 2 - 3 glass pieces (tiles, bowls, plates or platters) by cutting and assembling smaller pieces of glass to form a mosaic collage that will first be fired into a single glass piece and then slumped into its final shape. The first day will be used to familiarize the student with working and designing with glass by producing several experimental tiles for that night's firing.  The second day the student will design and create the mosaic glass assemblies, using tools and techniques such as shatter glass, dots and frit balls, and nipped and stacked glass, that will be fired and then slumped into the shape of their choice.  Click here for MCA online registration information or click here for the registration form.
