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.

Fall Leaf Platter
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.
