Description: "Freeze and Fuse" is a glass fusing technique where artists mix powdered glass with water, put into a mold, freeze the mixture, and then fire it in a kiln to create three-dimensional glass objects with intricate shapes, essentially "freezing" the wet powder into the desired form before fusing it together at a high temperature. This allows for detailed designs without the need for complex glass casting methods. Students will learn shading, color mixing and making your own silicon molds. Messy good fun!

Materials: Students are responsible to purchase any sheet glass, and kiln shelf paper. There will be a limited number of silicon molds for student use. Supplies are available for purchase from the instructor. Tools are available for use.
