Kaleidoscope Trays & Holiday Ornaments

  • Fallbrook School of the Arts 310 East Alvarado Street Fallbrook, CA, 92028 United States (map)

Join Instructor Suzanne Balestri and learn how to use an array of colored glass in organic shapes to create a stunning one-of-a-kind tray.  Small, kaleidoscope-like clusters of colors in a mosaic pattern create bold, whimsical designs in fused glass.  But you are not limited to this project — you may also choose to create a set of holiday ornaments! Suzanne will guide you in glass-cutting techniques and design considerations to ensure the texture and definition around each color is maintained.  You'll have access to a large selection of colored glass and embellishments. Tray creations will go through two firings in the kiln - the first firing fuses all the glass layers and pieces into one solid piece. The second firing is to slump your fused piece into a ceramic mold of your choosing to take the form of that mold. Beginners welcome! Ages 13 and up. Note:  If you choose to do the tray, there is a $10 (cash only) slumping fee due at the workshop. If doing ornaments only, there is no additional fee.

$105 (includes all materials and pre-class video instructions - if creating a tray requiring a second kiln firing, an additional $10 cash fee is required in class)

Your project will be fired in the school kiln and ready to pick up within a week. If you are not local, other arrangements can be made to get your kiln-fired project to you.
