Last week I had a blast making sculptural fused glass art with a fun group of creative, enthusiastic glass artists. We jumped right in on day 1 and had free flows loaded in kilns before lunch. The students then designed, built and loaded 2 more projects in waiting kilns. We kept up the accelerated pace. On day 2, the students changed the shape of their fused glass with saws and then they arranged them on various slumping molds, plus there was time to start another, new project. The creativity and positive energy was contagious.
In this Sculptural Fused Glass 4-day workshop the students cut up 32 feet of fusible glass. We fired my kilns 24 times. Rather than describe the fun we had, I’ll show you our productive, innovative, and enlightening week in pictures.
Here’s what last week’s students are saying about the class.
“My favorite thing about the class was being more creative and learning how to set up and see the big picture. I was surprised we had so many options. Lisa was available, patient and shared her knowledge. The classroom was awesome in size with adequate tools. All the tools were explained which made me more confident using them. My least favorite thing about the class was leaving. Nice surroundings. Nice family. Thanks for everything!” -Leslie
“My favorite thing about the class was our choice of glass colors, the relaxed pace, and how organized everything was. I was surprised how wonderfully flexible everything was. Lisa has an excellent teaching style. Her class is very pleasant with a non-stress atmosphere” -Sue
“My favorite thing about the class was making the 3 piece ladder and 2 piece basket weave sculptures. My least favorite thing was the outside tent and Florida humidity. Lunch was great-thank you!” -Pat

It’s hard to describe what it’s like when I’m feeling the creative flow. Time flies. Hours pass in what I thought were minutes. My naturally distracted mind is focused on what my hands are doing, and nothing else. I get lost in my own world. When I return to reality, I feel rejuvenated and spiritually uplifted. That’s why I like sharing my studio space with others. I try to give them that experience and hope they feel the same inspiration and fulfillment I do. -Lisa
