 New students will learn how to safely cut glass and learn all about the ancient craft of kiln fired glass. Returning students are welcome and will build on what they have learned and will continue to gain confidence in scoring glass with the cutter. I have lots of new projects to introduce and of course there will be free choice time as well. In each session the students will also collaborate on a piece that will be auctioned at the International Festival.
