Improve Your Glass Cutting

This class will show you how to cut glass and/or improve your current glass cutting skills to help make this portion of your glass experience more relaxing and enjoyable.  It will teach what pressure to use when scoring glass, how to cut inside curves, to cut circles with and without a circle cutter and to find the most comfortable table height.  Students will work with window glass to practice scoring and breaking, and will also be shown how to use the Morton System, a light table and the basic grinder.  In this 3-hour class students will make a vase as shown, the project will be fused in LSGA kiln and available for pickup the next day.  The glass and stand for the vase are included in the class fee.

The class does not require previous stained or fused glass classes and is highly recommended if one is interested in taking one of Anna’s fused glass classes which will be offered in the fall.
