DESCRIPTION

Create two beautiful fused glass holiday ornaments in this workshop.  Participants will decorate a precut snowflake and create their own design on a second piece of glass. (Workshop photo example shows glass pieces to create a reindeer, snowman or tree design. Other glass will also be available.)

DESIGN OPTIONS

Participants will be provided with TWO pieces of glass to decorate using a variety of precut glass, pebbles, nippits and crushed glass pieces.  No cutting involved.  

- ONE clear snowflake

- ONE clear rectangle (1.5"W x 2.25"H)

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

Project will be fired in my studio and available for pickup within 7 business days after the workshop (directions will be provided to my studio).

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: Required at all times. Glass shards and crushed glass can cause eye injuries from flying particles.

• PARTICULATE DUST MASK: Required when working with any type of crushed or powdered glass or other particulate matter. 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: Required when reaching into glass shard containers. Glass shards can cause skin lacerations from sharp edges.

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 or participant's close contacts are displaying ANY symptoms of FLU, COLD or COVID-19, including symptoms such as pink eye (conjunctivitis) as supplies and tools are shared, the participant is asked not to attend.  Please contact Haven Glass Studio directly and the workshop fee will be refunded or the project can be made into a "Make-At-Home" Glass Fusing Kit* to be completed off-site and returned to my studio for kiln firing.

*For alternative "Make-At-Home" Fusing Kit option: a portion of the ticket fee will be refunded as participant will not complete project in person.

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 white 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 and doesn't affect the outcome of the final fired project.
