Glass Fusion Workshop

 So for this meeting our lovely Laurie had set up a workshop for glass fusion. It was a huge hit, we all loved it. Pictured here you will find Christys glass dish, made with a deep dark red with a black edge. Oh so elegant and chic!
 Sarahs design was more complicated and reminded me of a tetris game. She worked oh so carefully and it showed! Simply Lovely!
 Here you'll find Jennys fun and whimsical design. She went outside of the box and used frit (a form of tiny bits and pieces of glass) along with many layers of glass. So creative and lovely!
 Pictured here you'll find Lauries meticulous dish which is so wonderful. My eye is drawn automatically to the diagonal strip on the left. Our lovely ladies have so much talent and design concept.
 Here you have Tinas design which is reminiscent of a landscape. She is a painter so she thinks of her canvas when working with her glass. Simple and sweet!



A few more completed items from the workshop. The words, letters and pendants proved to be colorful and whimsical, oh so lovely!
This project proved to be successful because the 8 lovelies had never tried glass work before, and we went for it! There is something very contemporary and seductive about glass which makes it so appealing. If you ever get a chance or have a studio in your area, sign up for a workshop. I promise you'll love it.  I forgot to mention that this project was also inspired by a deal on Living Social. So remember that it doesn't matter what the project is, just do it. You can live creatively if you try! Our workshop location was the Mud Room in Ada, MI.
