7th Grade Final Fusing

7th Grade students have explored the technique of fused glass over the last couple months. Students previously learned about the nature of glass and the chemical process that occurs when heated to high temperatures. After creating holiday decorations, personal designs, and "puddles," students focused their design skills on constructing a final single piece. Students were supplied with a plethora of glass in different sheets, colors, and sizes. They learned how to use a glass cutter, wear proper eye wear, and how to place the glass in their design to create colorful fusion effects.

Students are constructing simple frames for their fused glass artwork so that it may sit upright on a windowsill with sunlight, or on a tabletop with a battery powered/low watt light source. These art pieces will be on view at this years TBS Student Art Show.
