Isn't he adorable!  Chef Guido is a perfect message center.  As he hangs on the wall, your family can leave notes on his Menu board with Sharpie or dry-erase marker. 

Spend two Friday evenings creating your own Chef Guido.   

During the first evening, we'll cut the glass and lay it out in the kiln to be full-fused.   You'll also learn how to make perfect buttons and eyes. 

During the second evening, we'll cut the fingers and details to be contour fused onto the body.   You'll also write on the menu board using fusible paint.     

When you finish, you'll have a Guido of your own to hang in the kitchen or to give as a special gift.

Tuition includes the pattern and two firings.  You can expect to spend about $50 on glass and supplies.

Deep Drop Ring Vessel

with Joyce Sullivan
Two Sundays, June 22 & 29
from 1 to 4pm
$89 plus glass

**Glass Cutting Skills Are Required**    

Because of the constraints of kiln forming, fused glass bowls are typically shallow.  In this class, you'll learn to create a vessel that looks more like blown glass than a fused bowl.

You'll learn how to design, cut and set up your blank.  Because of the thickness required, we'll use dams to control the volume of glass.

During the week, each vessel will be fired and slumped.  In the second class session, you'll learn how to remove the rim and finish the edge using the wet saw, wet belt sander and flat lap grinder.

It's beautiful, delicate and perfect for summer gift giving.  It's also fun and easy to make.  This sea-inspired bowl can be made in your choice of colors to match any room in your home. With a few tips on design and layout, even a beginner can create a bowl that's ready for a gallery.

Sheryl is an inspired fusing artist and she also has a long history as a teacher.  She creates so many new and original projects that we ask her to teach them whenever we can squeeze onto her busy schedule.  We receive compliments on every class she teaches at Harmony.  

*We recently offered a class similar to this one on Living Social at a steep discount.  So that our regular customers aren't penalized, this class is also discounted from the regular price.

Poured Mosaic Stepping Stone 

with Angela Chandler

Saturday, June 28

from 1 to 5pm

$46 plus glass and kit

**Glass Cutting Skills Required** 

Learn to create a stepping stone from scratch.  You'll learn how to mix concrete and use reinforcing material

to create a successful 12" round, square or hexagon stepping stone.

Plan to cut your glass ahead of time so that we'll have plenty of time in class for the skills you don't already know. 

When cutting glass for a poured stepping stone, it isn't necessary to cut all the small background tesserae like a traditional mosaic.  Your stepping stone needs focal pieces but filling in the background is a personal choice and you can do it either way.

 

We will provide a kit with all necessary supplies except the glass and the plywood board. The kit will be approximately $42.

You'll learn about how to mix the correct ratio of cement, sand and water to make stones that will last a lifetime.

Mosaic Lazy Susan  

with Angela Chandler

Saturday, July 19  

from 1 to 5pm 

$46 plus glass & supplies

**Glass Cutting Skills Recommended**   

Lazy Susans have always been one of our most popular mosaic classes.  

 

In this one-day workshop, you'll learn how to transfer the pattern, prepare the substrate, nip and fit glass pieces, and glue your glass to create a stunning Lazy Susan for your dinner table. 

 

Due to the puzzle-like placement of glass pieces, you probably will not finish this project in class.  You can cut larger pieces in advance of class to help with time.  The photo above shows the fruit and borders pre-cut and the background nipped.   We will explain grouting and provide a detailed handout so that you can grout at home.
