Warm Glass - Fused Glass
Mosaic Glass
A user-friendly “cold” technique requiring only glass, nippers, glue, and grout. We will create a design on a surface– box, board, trivet, tray, tabletop, or picture frame, glue the “tesserae– pieces of colored glass– into place, let it set, then grout the design in place. There is no end to the beautiful decorative mosaics you can create.
Stained Glass
We make stained glass by precisely cutting pieces of glass and soldering them together using either copper foil or lead strips. We will be using transparent glass as stained glass is primarily utilized in windows where the beauty of the light shines through and creates stunning reflections.
In the Future:
Though GAC is primarily a glass school, in the future we will be adding specialty classes in other media like painting and collage, and offering workshops in other aspects of glass making, like etching, sandblasting, and utilizing fused glass in many creative applications. Stay tuned for offerings and opportunities to expand your artistic vocabulary at GAC.
