Open-Weave Glass Baskets
November 14 & 15 | 10:00 AM–1:00 PM
Explore texture, shape, and open-weave design as you create beautiful fused-glass baskets. Register for Day 1, Day 2, or both! Each day features a different basket project—join us for the design that inspires you, or enjoy both sessions to create two unique pieces.
Day 1: Textured Lattice Basket
Learn glass cutting and shaping while designing and building a square basket from textured glass strips arranged in a lattice-weave pattern. Explore how to plan a balanced design, layer glass for dimension, and use texture to create light-catching details. Your piece will be kiln-fired after class and shaped into a square bowl.
Day 2: Organic Woven Basket
Create a larger, more sculptural glass basket using smooth glass and flowing, organic forms. Experiment with gentle curves, open spaces, and layered color to create a one-of-a-kind functional art piece with an airy, woven look. You do not need to attend Day 1 to participate in Day 2.
Whether you join us for one day or both, you’ll explore a playful, less traditional approach to fused glass. Each basket will be uniquely yours, shaped by your choice of color, texture, and design. No previous fused-glass experience is necessary—guidance and materials are provided for each session.

*RESCHEDULING DUE TO TECHNOLOGY FAIL*

NEW CLASS!

Fall Leaf Platter Workshop:

Celebrate the colors and textures of autumn in this two-day fused-glass class! You’ll create a one-of-a-kind, 8” fall leaf platter using handmade powder-wafer leaves and a custom-designed glass base.
On Day One, you’ll learn how to create delicate powder-wafer leaves using glass powders, exploring fall color combinations, leaf shapes, and subtle texture. You’ll also design your base glass, choosing colors and elements that will complement your finished leaf composition. The leaves and base designs will be fired separately between class sessions.
On Day Two, you’ll return to arrange your fired leaves onto the completed base, refining the balance, movement, and layering of your final design. Your platter will then be fired and slumped into its finished shape.
No prior glass experience is needed—just come ready to play with color, create something seasonal, and make a beautiful piece you’ll enjoy displaying or serving from all season long.

A little fused-glass show-and-tell from this week ✨
These colorful creations started as carefully chosen and cut pieces of glass, assembled and then headed into the kiln for their big transformation. The best part was seeing this sweet family pick up their finished projects and take home something they made together. 💛
From loose bits of glass to one-of-a-kind keepsakes—kiln magic never gets old!

There is something extra special about watching a class come full circle.
Our latest stained glass class just wrapped up, and these clips capture some of the process and the magic at the end. From first cuts to final solder lines, every piece tells a story of patience, problem-solving, and creativity coming to life.
We are so proud of what these students created—each panel completely unique and full of personality. It is always an honor to guide people through this process and watch their confidence grow alongside their skills.
Take a look at what they made and the journey it took to get there.

Our expressive glass panel workshop pieces are officially finished and out of the kiln—and they look incredible! Each panel showcases creativity, color, and personal style, and we are so excited with how they turned out.

Thank you to the amazing first graders from Charlottesville Day School for visiting our studio and creating their own beautiful glass suncatchers! It was such a joy to see their creativity shine and watch them explore the art of glass in such a hands-on way.
Experiences like this are why we love being a teaching studio—introducing young artists to the magic of glass fusing and giving them a space to create something truly their own. We hope to see you all again soon!
