  Get ready for PRIDE season! 

  Come join us as we make queer and colorful fused glass items as we approach Gay Pride season! In this introductory class we will be making rainbow or other pride flag variations on glass. These glass items can be turned into suncatchers or jewelry and they make great gifts!

You will learn how to work safely, use tools and you will create one to 3 pieces that can be picked up that same week after they come out of the kiln. You will learn about COE(coefficient of expansion)of glass,  kiln firing, and how to choose glass and prepare it for firing. 

  By the end of this fun class you will know:

  *  How to cut glass 

  *  What COE means and why it is relevant to this work

  *  How to achieve different glass effects with different firing schedules
