Fused Glass Sailboat Pendants
Come to the “Glassroom” at NCMC and make two lovely fused glass necklaces. You’ll design and assemble 1 to 2-inch glass pendants using colorful glass pieces. There’s no cutting required. Glass artist Heidi Reichenbach Finley makes this a super-fun, relaxed, and social event with friendly guidance for even the most glass-squeamish beginner. Fused glass is different from blown glass—you won’t be near the heat. Your creation will later be expertly fired smooth in the college kiln room by Heidi.
These make great gifts, and you may decide to make more than two for a smaller additional fee. As with all of Heidi’s classes, participants need no prior experience in glass or art of any kind to be successful. Really!
Completed pendants will be available for pick-up at the college several days later with your choice of leather cord or silver-plated chain. Shipping is available.
Additional information for students: There is no supply list for students. Though participants won’t be cutting or breaking glass, eye protection is available in the glassroom, The instructor will provide safety guidelines and support for proper handling of glass. Please dress for work and wear closed-toe shoes. Questions? Students may contact the instructor anytime at midwestartist@msn.com or (260) 667-8719
