During the evening, participants will make one or more fused glass projects from this selection: pendants, magnets, suncatchers and night lights. Along with a wide array of colorful art glass, other materials such as frit, wire, millefiori, stringer, and copper sheet will be included.

There is no cost to register, but enrollees must sign up in advance to secure a seat, and then pay for the projects they make on the night of the event. Prices vary per item: Pendant or Magnet: $10 each; Suncatcher: $20 each; Night Light: $25 each.

Glass Fusion is for ages 18 & up and no prior experience with glass is required to create original art, have fun, support camp scholarships, and get your sparkle on.
