Crazy Fish, Jellies and More!

Welcome to MerFox Art, a place of fantasy and fun! Every Stained Glass Artist has boxes of scrap glass sitting around their studio waiting to be turned into something fun, playful and easy! You might even learn how to teach beginners who want to play with glass but aren't sure about cutting. There's no cutting in this class! We begin by digging out those scraps, picking up a piece and adding to it, adding in pieces one at a time until you can see the vision of something magical. Some scraps say "I'm a fish!" Some say "I'm a Jellyfish!" Some say "I'm a Mermaid!" and some say they are flowers, some whimsical garden art! I start with the basics so even a beginner can do this and finish off with advanced techniques showing you how to add embellishments and do some fancy soldering!

Layering Glass to Create Depth and Texture

How do you bring depth to flat sheets of glass? Elements can be added to it and fused, but it will still remain a flat. A lower temperature firing (Tac fusing) can give you texture but do you have depth? Layering glass sheets brings a dimension to your glass art creating an intriguing image. In this class, you will learn how to layer and fuse glass to obtain depth and texture to an art piece.  Materials in this class will include glass powders, high-fire enamels, glass frit, stringers, glass wafers, stencils and sheet glass.
