Couples Fusing Glass: Sushi Plates with Greg Rawls

Description

Couples Fusing Glass Sushi Plates with Greg Rawls

This is an introductory class on the basics of glass fusing. You will learn how to cut glass and assemble it into an artistic pattern that will be fused into an 8" square sushi dish that you can take home and use.

We will discuss different types of glass, safety, the science of glass fusing and the amazing potential of fused glass. Glass fusing is the process of using a kiln to join together pieces of glass with heat. Glass will soften at 1000°F and become fluid at 1500°F and fuse together. When the right kind of glass is heated and then cooled properly, the resulting fused glass piece will be solid and unbroken.

This is a one-day, two-hour class. Meet the Instructor, Greg, who is an accomplished glass artist whose work can be seen in fine art galleries throughout the southeast. His art has been displayed in the South Carolina Museum, he has won awards at the Piccolo Spoleto Festival in Charleston and won the 2012 Cooper River Bridge Run poster competition.
