Three glass art studios in the Collingwood area are partnering for a special program that lets you try stained, fusion, lampwork and blowing glass all in one week. For details go to www.tasteofglass.ca. Text Box: Some of the pieces made by students during a recent Introductory Fusion Glass Weekend. Text Box: PAINTING WITH POWDER This one-day program is designed for people who want to try a new creative outlet, but who are hesitant about cutting glass. You will use powders, frit, stringers and noodles to create a small three-dimensional scene. In one half-day your piece will be ready for the first firing. The next day you return for about 1/2 hour to finalize your piece for a second fusing. If you can’t come back the next day we can prepare your piece for final fusing. Registration fee for one class $110 + GST. Fee includes all instruction, materials and use of kiln.
