Hot glass, shiny glass, creepy crawly glass! What is hot glass and how can you turn it into unique swirls and curls? Find out during two mornings of “glass wow” while creating three fanciful hot and fused glass critters. On the first morning, participants will experience glass casting, fibre mold making and glass combing in the mini kilns. Day two, return to cold work and embellish your wee beasties with dichroic “bling” wings. Once fired, add an earth magnet or key chain and your new “pets” are ready to play!

This is the camp we have all been waiting for! Finally we can come together again for both Glasstronomy and Gastronomy in our fully-equipped, air conditioned studio! Over four-days of multi technique driven glass fusing, participants will create a tri-stemmed, six-foot tall, glass and metal sculpture. This towering array of colour will add life to those bushy corners in your mature garden or stand as a grand display of form and flow in any space, indoors and out. During this glass sculpture course, participants will create reusuable fibre molds, cast organic forms using Cast-a-lot, as well as explore Glassline “Zentangles”, and glass drilling. Let’s not forget about the daily gourmet lunches!
