Art you can wear! Fused pendants with Spider Martins

This workshop will be an introduction to glass fusing technique where each participant will design wearable glass pendants! Using assorted sheet glass, frits and stringers participants will be able to make one of a kind jewelry for themselves or a loved one. At the end of our session we will place the glass designs in the kilns for the glass to fuse and be ready to wear the next day. We will go over assembly methods and discuss different hardware for the different jewelry designs. Please join if you are interested in learning about this technique and looking for a fun one day glass workshop in Brooklyn.

What to Expect: Students will create several pieces of their own simple design. Read more about how to prepare for class on our Registration Info page. 

Kilnforming work involves a mix of seated and standing activities, including preparing glass pieces for firing, and loading and unloading the kiln. A particulate respirator mask is required when working with fine glass powders or unloading kilns after firing and would be provided for you if needed. Handling glass and tools may require a certain level of dexterity. To learn more about accessibility the Accessibility page on our website.

Eligibility: No previous experience required. Open to ages 12 and up.

Pick-up: The glass needs to be fused in the kiln and cool down overnight, so the students will have to return to UrbanGlass once notified to pick up their work. 

This is an in-person class taking place on-site at UrbanGlass.
