When your design is complete, we will fire it in our kiln to fuse the glass components, then do a second firing to shape it in the mold of your choice.

Your masterpiece will be ready for pickup within 2 weeks.

We were looking for something fun to do when Jill found this stained glass party class in Fort Lauderdale and we decided to take it together. Carole is such a patient teacher we learned how to cut and shape the glass, wrap copper foil around the edges of the glass then solder everything together to make a beautiful stain glasssuncatcher. We are all so proud of the pieces we made. - Mary L.

I learned how to do Stained Glass about 20 years ago, then life got in the way so I put my tools away and stopped doing it. I retired last year and remembered how much fun I had creating with Stained Glass, so I found Carole on the Internet and signed up for a couple of private lessons. It all came back pretty quickly but Carole was great, giving me so many new tips and tricks and helping me get my glass cutting and soldering back on track. Thanks Carole, I really appreciate your skills as a teacher. - Lauri R

I really look forward to attending the fusing class, I didn’t realize how fun it was to be creative. Friends tell me the pieces I make are fantastic, and I agree with them. - Steve S.

Our entire family (there were 8 of us) signed up for the Fused Glass Party Session and we had a blast. Carole encouraged us to bring along snacks and our favorite beverage, so we made a party out of it. Everyone is so proud of the art pieces that they made, and they all look so different. Even the men in our group had to admit it was a fun evening! - Bethany K.

When Naomi invited me to join her at Carole's fusing studio to make a tile triptych, I had no idea what to expect. I have tried many different crafts, but I’ve never tried fusing – what a surprise, it was so much fun I can hardly wait to do it again. - Cheryl D.
