Fused Glass for Absolute Beginners

The right start will make all the difference to your success as a kiln glass artist.

That's why we believe introductory classes are the most important ones that you'll ever take. Nobody in Texas can give you a better start at kiln glass than Helios.

Our "Absolute Beginners" class we will teach you safety, basic fusing concepts (like how glass behaves at different temperatures in a kiln), and we'll we will introduce you to the different kinds of glass that are available to the kiln glass artist.

In this class we will focus on arranging glass for flat fusing - the first step towards many more advanced techniques including bowl making.

We will wrap up by showing you the types of things that are possible with fused glass as you develop your skills.

You will make pendants, coasters and/or tiles and a picture frame to take home.
