Glass Fusing Project

Help me give my students the opportunity to expand their ceramic learning by adding Glass Fusing.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Schnaare's classroom raised $590

This project is fully funded

My Project

Students will learn a variety of skills from the purchase of a glass fusing kiln and materials, including:

Glass cutting: Students will learn how to safely and accurately cut glass into desired shapes and sizes.

Glass design: Students will learn how to design and arrange glass pieces to create visually appealing and structurally sound works of art.

Kiln firing: Students will learn how to safely and effectively fire glass in a kiln to achieve the desired results.

Glass properties: Students will learn about the different properties of glass, such as its melting point, coefficient of expansion, and compatibility with other materials.

Creative expression: Students will learn how to use glass fusing to express their creativity and create unique and personal works of art.

In addition to these technical skills, students will also develop a number of other important skills, such as:

Problem-solving: Glass fusing can be a challenging process, and students will learn how to solve problems that arise, such as adjusting firing schedules or repairing broken pieces.

Patience and perseverance: Glass fusing is a time-consuming process, and students will learn how to be patient and persevere to achieve their desired results.

Attention to detail: Glass fusing requires precise attention to detail, and students will learn how to be careful and meticulous in their work.

Safety: Glass fusing can be dangerous if not done properly, and students will learn how to safely handle glass and operate a kiln.

Overall, glass fusing is a rewarding and educational experience for students of all ages. It is a great way to learn about glass, art, and design, and it can help students develop a variety of important skills.
