Glass Fusion "Rainbow Bird Bath 3"
Instructor: Pia Douglas
05-13-2026
5 to 8pm
$108 members | $120 non- members
Ages: 16 to Adults
This rare and beautiful 12 inch wide Rainbow bird Bath is made in a really particular manner. Yes, we use glass but no, we do not cut it in the conventional way.
For once we break the glass where ever it wants to be broken and we play with shape and colors, directly on the kiln shelf! no, we do not use copper foil or lead because we will fuse our piece. In fact we will fuse it twice to obtain this gorgeous creation. Not mentioning that we will add a touch of iridescence at the bottom of our clear glass to give our little friends an extra attraction in the world of birds!
And .....if you do not want to use as a bird bath... simply put it delicately on your table, just be careful, the cat might want to use as his favorite sleeping quarters.
Only 4 people per class
We have a 24 hour cancellation policy.
