Chip In! Fused Glass Class

Chip in, and use our glass chips to imagine your own unique creations at Happy Hour Glass Works! Join us for a fun and creative evening using our chips of glass. This class is an excellent choice for beginners, families and anyone wanting to experiment with colors, shapes and sizes, including advanced participants who have a unique project in mind. For this class, glass selection is limited to our designated chip bins, but the possibilities are endless! At HHGW, we recycle our glass into different forms, and "chips" are among them. We've accumulated several bins, enabling this unique class where you will be provided with a 6x6 sheet of kiln paper. From your blank slate, layer and shape the chips to form creations from your mind's eye, from holiday wreaths to halloween monsters, dangling fish to glass mosaic suncatchers. 'A great way to get a jump start on your holiday ornaments! Secure your space to join our active community of fused glass enthusiasts! No experience needed, just get ready for fun and to learn something new! Experienced instructors will guide you through the creative process, help you select the perfect glass pieces, and provide instruction, tips, tools, and techniques to bring your ideas to life. We provide a sample project, but the choices are many as you infuse the project with your own ideas - colors, shapes, sizes! Our glass classes offer terrific hands-on opportunities to explore the world of glass fusion, learn new skills, and become aware of endless possibilities in creating your own personal one-of-a-kind designs. Class projects make perfect keepsakes and unique gifts that only YOU could make. No two are alike! We look forward to seeing you in our happy place as you explore the possibilities!
