Kiln Carving Basics – Kiln carving is a method used to add dimension to your glass pieces. Using a fiberglass material, you can create just about any design you can make using an X-Acto® knife and a pair of scissors. The design is then placed under sheet glass and, “Voila!”, the kiln does its’ magic with a little help from gravity! You will create a 5"x9" plate using a suggested design or one of your own. All materials and instruction are included. The finished piece will be available for pick-up after fuse and slump firings are complete. Pick-up time will be announced during this 2 hour class.

Your choice of projects: an appetizer plate or a black iron frame trivet for which you design and create a 4" hand painted tile. Fused projects will be available for pickup within a week.
