Basics II is designed for the person who has had a short introduction to fused glass –in a class, project session, or on their own – and wishes to enhance their understanding of the basic concepts of glass fusing and learn additional glass cutting and shaping techniques.

In this class we continue to investigate the basic principles of combining glass and heat.  You will gain a better understanding of how Bullseye glass is made, tested and priced and how to minimize costs through our discount program.  You will learn why and how certain colors react with each other and how to use these reactions to create interesting effects.  We will explore the use of metal inclusions in your fused glass and use the 3mm volume control rule learned in Basics I to keep your design crisp or to create interesting effects.  Circle cutting instruction is included and, using Bullseye tested compatible art glass for fusing, you will create an 8" round bowl and 3 small sample tiles during this class. 

Those of you who own or are thinking of purchasing a kiln, or just want to understand the firing process in more depth should continue to the third day of our getting started series - the Kiln Firing Class.  The two Basics classes and Kiln Firing class together will provide you with the knowlege to begin your journey into this wonderful world of kiln-formed glass .......
