Glass Fusing-Beginner Lesson


Again, I ask....Have you ever used glass in an art room? Well, it looks harder than it is. This is a great "starter" lesson to introduce a glass fusing unit. I encourage you to give it a try. All students do love it! We created these square / rectangle like pieces. Scroll on down to learn more about this type SHOM lesson (Studio Habits Of Mind Lesson) I am ready to make some more!


It is always a good idea to do a little art studio promotion on your social media platforms!


We fuse our glass pendants at R3 no hold in a glass kiln.
Take them out and get the kiln wash off with sponges and water. Sometimes we have to resort to a toothbrush for extra scrubbing.

In the past, we use the glass grinder to smooth out the edges. Let dry and use E6000 to add jewelry findings. This prepares middle school kids for the glass media lesson in Upper School. WE like to try to spiral our Visual Art curriculum in this manner.
