Cutting and breaking glass is possibly the single most important skill for a fused glass artist to master.
When it comes to developing skills "perfect practice makes perfect". Under the sharp eye of a Helios instructor you'll gain the experience and knowledge you need to perfect your cutting skills and tackle any project!
In our "Cutting Fundamentals" class we will teach you proper posture, pressure, tool use, and give you lots and lots of practice. You'll conquer straight cuts (without relying on a strip cutter!), free-hand shapes, cutting down large sheets, and master the not-as-intimidating-as-you-thought circle. You will practice on tekta, colored glass, textured glass, and float glass! You will also apply your newly-honed cutting skills to a final project to show off you incredible cutting skills and wow your friends!
