"Home Town" Fused Glass Class

Saturday, April 26th
1:00 pm - 3:00 pm

What is fused glass? Make a whimsical portrait of Astoria in glass to hold photos ... or to hold "reminder notes" for you or the ones you love! The example in the photo is a black background but other colors will be available. Supplies are included. You will cut and design your glass portrait; your project will be "fused" in a kiln (off-site); and your original, fused "portrait" will be available one week later. This is a great gift for Mom or family members or friends.

Fused glass artist Christine Kende instructs.
