Fused Holiday Stand-Ups

Mondays, Nov. 3, Nov. 10, 10am - 1pm

Choose your favorite holiday and the figure(s) that represents it.  Learn how to cut glass and use the tools, then choose the glass you will put together to create your fun holiday stand-up!  It could be Santa, a polar bear mother and cub, a fish, a reindeer, a witch, a leprechaun - whatever your imagination dreams up!  The piece will then be fused together and fused again to slump it into a shape that stands up.
