DESCRIPTION

Create a beautiful heart shaped sun catcher in this workshop. Heart measures 4.75" diameter (at widest point).

CREATE YOUR OWN DESIGN

Participants will be provided with ONE clear glass heart to decorate using a variety of precut glass, pebbles, nippits and crushed glass pieces. A wire hook will be provided and fused between glass layers for hanging. No cutting involved.

The decorated pieces will be taken back to my studio for firing in my kiln. Using a “tack” fuse technique, your sun catcher will emerge from the kiln with a beautiful textured finish.

Project will be fired in my studio and available for pickup at Route 22 Artist Collective Gallery within 10 days after the workshop.

SAFETY PROTOCOL

Haven Glass Studio is committed to a safe creative environment using safe work practices.

There are many elements to glass work that require various safety protocols. Glass can be hazardous without the proper use of PPE.

Depending on the task, I routinely use high quality safety glasses, respirators, disposable dust masks and gloves, work gloves, face shields and hearing protection in my studio at all times and each workshop will adhere to the same safety protocols.

This workshop uses glass shards/fine glass particulates.  The following safety PPE is required and will be provided:

• ​​​SAFETY GLASSES: Glass shards can cause eye injuries from flying particles.
• PARTICULATE DUST MASK: Glass creates fine particulate matter that can linger in the air.  Exposure to dust inhalation can cause serious and permanent damage to your lungs.
• ​GLOVES: Glass shards can cause skin lacerations from sharp edges.

​​SAFETY GLASSES AND PARTICULATE DUST MASKS ARE REQUIRED WHILE CREATING YOUR PROJECT. GLOVES ARE REQUIRED WHEN REACHING INTO GLASS SHARD CONTAINERS.

​​

DRESS CODE

Closed toed shoes and long pants required.

LIABILITY WAIVER

Each person will be required to sign a waiver/release form to participate, which will be provided at the beginning of the workshop.

ILLNESS DISCLAIMER

For everyone’s safety, if a participant is displaying ANY symptoms of FLU, COLD or COVID-19, you are asked not to attend.  Please contact Haven Glass Studio directly and the workshop fee will be fully refunded.

ADDITIONAL INFO

IMPORTANT: Project may not be changed or modified, as all materials are prepared prior to the workshop.  It would be too difficult to accommodate all special requests and could potentially result in wasted materials.  As my workshops will start promptly at the scheduled time, I ask that all participants please arrive a minimum of 10 minutes early.

All participants will use glue to adhere their design to the base glass.  Only a small amount is required, so the glue dries quickly and will be dry enough to transport by the end of the workshop day.  Projects will then be transported to my studio for firing using a non-slip mat to ensure projects don’t move during transport. The glue residue burns off in the high temperatures of the kiln so it doesn't affect the outcome of the project.
