My boyfriend and I started going to Art For Fun for a date night a few months ago and got hooked on glass fusion. Artist/studio owner/ teacher Barbara's motto, "you don't have to be an artist to create art" holds true. On the first night, I created three pairs of earrings and two pendants from free scrap glass--and my friends and I have received many compliments when we wear my art! After I've fulfilled my special occasion gift list for family and friends for the next year (I've already created jewelry, suncatchers, serving platters and miscellaneous dishes), I want to learn silk painting, maybe clay sculpturing, or watercolor techniques). I've brought in two friends for the glass fusion instruction and also my teenage grandson who's into clay sculpture and they all have learned from Barbara's expertise and instruction in her free-flowing classes.
p.s. I've checked around and found this glass art class is the best deal going for price and instruction. And you'll be taught by an expert--Barbara's a former art teacher and this year placed second in the International Glass Competition for her 8' long "Jerusalem Wall" glass mosaic.
