Product Information
This class is a perfect introduction to glass fusing techniques on a wave design, before booking our medium wave class.
You will create your design on a 6.5 inch x 4 inch (design area) rectangle flat piece glass using glass paint, frit, stringers, and glass dots to embellish your work. You will learn how to place your design on the glass for maximum impact once your glass is fused into a wave. You may also nip some small solid pieces of glass with tile cutters in this class to complement your design.
In this class you get to make one small wave. A variety of template designs are provided, but you are more than welcome to bring your own design to fit the above dimensions.
