Have you ever wanted to add an open-work look to your glass, but weren’t sure how? This five-week class goes well beyond the traditional “coral bowl” to teach students multiple ways to add interest and dimension to their fused-glass pieces. Previous glass-cutting experience required.

In this class, you’ll discover the colorful, creative projects that are possible with a vitrigraph kiln. Shannon Lynch will give an overview of crucible options, color choices, and just a few of the possibilities for shapes and designs. One space available.

Students will create multiple projects using discarded glass bottles including a candle holder, slumped spoon rest, popped bottles, and more. We will be using warm shop, flame shop, and cold shop assets to learn how to hot pop, flame polish, slump, and finish recycled glass products. No experience necessary.

Glass artist and SGS Hot Shop Instructor Thomas "Hadji" Hodgson debuts his Dalle De Verre work in a solo show being hosted in a private residence at 1124 E. Broadway Blvd. Street parking available on Santa Rita or Freemont south of Broadway.

Alex Heveri's Glass in Flight exhibit at the Tucson Botanical features breathtaking sculptures of towering dragonflies, several types of butterflies, honeybees in their hive, and enormous stalking beetles. These insects, brought to life throughout the Gardens, will dazzle with their natural colors as the sun illuminates their iridescent wings.

Show runs through May 29, 2022
