From Zero to OMG - old


Zero to OMG !
6 Week Course - $ 200.00


Embark on an exciting 6-week journey into the world of fused glass with our "From Zero to OMG with Rob" class. Perfect for beginners, this hands-on course, led by Rob Fleischner and/or Rob Traylor (you can see who is the main teacher by looking at the title of that session), covers the fundamentals of cutting, shaping, and assembling glass. Learn to use essential tools like glass cutters, saws, and grinders, and explore techniques with powders, frits, and dichroic glass. Create stunning projects, including a larger class piece, and unlock your fused glass potential. No prior experience needed!

  • Course Details:
  • Duration: 6 weeks
    • Topics Covered:
    • Basic glass cutting and shaping techniques
    • Use of hand-held glass cutters, ring saws, band saws, and grinders
    • Glass assembly and placement
    • Working with powders, frits, confetti, stringers, iridescent, and dichroic glass
    • Firing schedules for fusing and slumping
    • Project Work: Students will create a variety of smaller projects and one larger class project, incorporating the techniques learned.
