 Explore glass as a medium and create a beautiful 8"x10" crystal iridescent glass leaves tealight, a perfect centerpiece for any table or gift for someone special!
In the first session of this kiln-cast glass sculpture workshop, you will fill leaf-shaped molds with individual mosaic sized frit glass pieces. The colors of glass can be any combination of iridized clear crystal, ebony black, or champagne gold. The molds are then loaded into the glass kiln for a first firing. In the second session you will unload the glass leaves from the kiln, smooth the edges with a wet glass sander, and position them back into the kiln to be slump shaped. After a second firing, your tealight will be ready to take home!
This is a beginning level course. No experience is necessary. The basics of kiln casting and vocabulary terms will be presented, and students who complete the class will be eligible to participate in next-level glass classes with the instructor.

This workshop is taught by renowned glass artist, Mary Van Cline, and takes place at Glass-Studio.US, located right off Hwy 101N, just 10 minutes from Interstate 5/West Olympia in the New Kamilche area.
