We also plan to show you some cool tricks like how it is possible to layer different types of glass and get amazing special effects. This is a Hands on class where you choose your project, create your very own glass pendant, earrings, or a set of coasters. When your design is complete you will place it in the kiln to be fused and let the magic happen.
