With fuse glass, you can overlap the sheet glass, plus you can work with other glass elements such as glass stringers, glass nuggets, glass frit (which is ground up glass). The studio has many shapes and sizes of glass. We teach you how to cut glass with the provided hand tools. We do also sell premium glass sheets, glass remnants, fun glass cut out shapes that can be incorporated into your work. |
