Fused Glass Art

Fused glass art can be done by students without much training. Glass fusing involves arranging pieces of cut glass in layers and fusing them together in a kiln. Copper wire can be used to create bendable joints between pieces or to make hangers for flat pieces. 

Students design a glass piece that meets the design and content criteria designated by the teacher. They may cut their own glass pieces or use pre-cut pieces and will arrange and layer pieces of colored glass that will be fused together in the kiln. In this project students designed a 4” square showing a place that is important to them.

Students may work individually or in small groups to design and construct their arrangement. Presentation may include supporting deliverables such as content-centric posters or imagery.
