Glass Fusing and Slumping Weekend

Last weekend I taught a fusing and slumping weekend, students are talked through the basic principles of fused glass then introduced to a series of techniques throughout the day, including kiln carving, using metal inclusions, glass dilution and the different ways of layering glass to achieve different results.
Students hard at work on 

A steady hand needed to assemble in the kiln!

work ready for firing!

In the final project of the weekend students have the opportunity to incorporate any and all of the techniques they've learned in creating unique fused glass dishes, the results can be seen below.
