Project

Session 1:  You will learn to cut glass and make/prepare pebbles for the first kiln firing. Most pebbles will be used in your platter, some will be set aside for possible jewelry or other design options. You will begin planning your platter design.

Session  2:  You will harvest (clean) your pebbles and assemble your platter for the fused platter kiln firing. Time permitting, you may work on some of your pebbles for simple jewelry pieces such as a necklace or earrings or make a smaller pebble dish such as a snack dish.

Session  3:  You will review your fused platter and prepare if for the final firing (slump firing) and, if there is time, continue working on your pebble jewelry.
