Members of LSGA are invited to attend Open Studio. Bring your project and work alongside your fellow glass fanatics. Sharing ideas and seeing what others are working on is part of the fun.

This is your opportunity to ask for assistance with anything related to the studio. I am happy to help you with equipment setup, operation and cleanup. I will answer project-related questions if I can, or refer you to the right person with that skill set.

Remember to check the calendar each week to see when Open Studio will be held. Both day and evening times will be offered, and dates may change.

**NOTE: BOTH SESSIONS ARE CURRENTLY FULL. PLEASE SEE BELOW TO ASK TO BE PUT ON THE WAITLIST**

This course is open to anyone with a love for glass. Kiln Sculpting is a simple but effective technique that requires cutting or carving a pattern with fiber paper (special paper used in glass fusing that can withstand the high temperatures of a glass kiln). You place a piece of transparent glass over your carved fiber paper and fire both together to create a 3-dimensional piece of glass art. To create details, you can use cuts and layering of your fiber paper.

All equipment will be supplied and included in the cost of the class. Students will be notified via email when their art piece is ready to be picked up.

Come join us each month to talk about all things glass! Our monthly meetings are held at our McNally studio and are also typically followed by a potluck for any members who wish to participate. Please bring your own plate and cutlery if joining in the potluck.

Each meeting includes both a show-and-share portion for anybody who has projects to show or ask about, and an Education portion for free learning opportunities. Many informal “ask an expert” sessions take place at and after our meetings, and suggestions and/or volunteers for the Education portion are always welcome.
