Through four distinct projects and guided material studies, we’ll work our way through sheet glass, rods, frit, and stringer while students gain a deeper understanding of how glass behaves in the kiln and how color, layering, and form work together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeek 1: Jewel Tone Square on Square Platter \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe begin with a vibrant platter project using transparent jewel-tone sheet glass layered with clear glass. Students will explore stacking, layering, and thickness to see how color saturation shifts and deepens in the kiln. This project introduces cutting, composition, and the visual magic of transparent glass.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeek 2: Torch to Kiln Floral Bowls (set of 2)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this hybrid technique class, students will create elements of flowers making petals, stems, and leaves using a torch. These elements will then be arranged and fused onto two pre-fired glass bases (that students will make in week one) before being slumped into bowl molds. This project bridges flameworking and kiln work, demonstrating how flame worked components can be successfully fused and formed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeek 3: Frit Illustration (set of 2)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStarting with a printed color image template placed beneath clear glass, students will “paint” with fine frit, carefully matching colors to the image. Similar to a paint-by-number process (without numbers), this project focuses on precision, color placement, and building imagery using fine and powdered glass frit. We’ll start week 4 finishing this project with additional powdered glass to add dimension.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeek 4: Warp + Weft: Glass Platter (day 1)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInspired by layered and interwoven glass styles, this project uses glass stringers and frit, to build a rich textured surface with depth and movement. Students will explore color theory, pattern and transparency to create a visually complex fused glass piece.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeek 5: Finishing, Review \u0026amp; Material Study\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe final week starts with completing the Warp + Weft Platter. Then we will bring everything together with finishing discussions, project review, and deeper material exploration. Throughout the series, students will study and work with sheet glass, rods, frit, and stringers, learning how each behaves in the kiln and how to use them intentionally.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcross all five weeks, the instructor will cover:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow glass is made and colored\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eBasic color theory and color interaction in glass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eMaterial compatibility and kiln processes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eTools and equipment \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eGuided Workshops are recommended for ages 16+\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5-day workshop:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeptember 26, October 3, 17, 24, 31 \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSaturdays, 10:30am-1:30pm\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cb\u003e*Note- We will not be meeting October 10th\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLevel: Beginning \/ Intermediate\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eClass length: 3 hours\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInstructor: Angie Unger\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuestions?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEmail - info@brazeestreetstudios.com\u003cbr\u003eCall - 513-321-0206. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eStudents must wear closed-toed shoes in the studio.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eProjects will be available for pickup one week after class date.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eCancellation Policy: Please be sure you can attend class at time of registration. 24 hour notice required to keep payment as CREDIT to be used towards another class.
