Helios Fused Glass -Austin, Texas

Pattern Bars: Any way you slice it!


Learn new twists on an ancient technique.

This project centered class will encompass the process of building a small tray using pattern bars as the main component.

Students will learn to build three different types of pattern bars that are either geometric or organic in design.

The class will be guided through each step from building and damming the pattern bars, sandblasting, using the tile saw, cutting strips to cold working the final piece.

Students will take home their final 4"x12" x 3/8" tray and their remaining pattern bar components.
