Tangram Fusing with Tara Traister

 In this one-day workshop, you’ll explore the art of glass fusing while creating a unique tangram-inspired design. You’ll learn essential techniques for cutting, arranging, and layering colorful glass pieces to form geometric patterns. Whether you choose to craft a playful animal, an abstract design, or a traditional tangram shape, you’ll leave the class with a one-of-a-kind glass artwork.

What to Expect: Students will create 1 or 2 fused pieces of their own simple design, under 5” in any direction. 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.
