• Four pounds of Bullseye COE 90 glass (sheet, frit, rods and stringers)

• Cutters, grinders and other tools are supplied

Private Instruction

Students can continue to work on their project in the cold working shop. Advanced fused glass artwork is built up in layers with numerous fusing cycles and cold working removal/refinement cycles. Leland can guide you though his process.

For an hourly fee (two-hour minimum) Leland will share his knowledge and tools – cutters, grinder, tile saw, kilns, polishers, etc.  You only need to bring your own eye protection (glasses or safety glasses) and wear appropriate clothing (including closed toe shoes). The fee
