Fused Glass Slumping & Draping Class in Westlake Village

Explore glass art with guided instruction in a relaxed, supportive studio setting. Bring your own creative ideas to a class designed as an introduction to shaped glass art.

Itinerary

In this beginner-friendly class, you’ll learn essential glass safety and practice cutting glass into straight-edged shapes, including squares, rectangles, and triangles. Then you’ll arrange your colorful glass pieces to create one unique project.

Choose from:

A 6" x 6" design that will be shaped into a small dish or tealight holder A 4" x 8" design that will become a shallow tray or dish

Your project will be built flat during class and fired twice in our kilns. The first firing fuses the individual pieces of glass together. During the second firing, the glass is placed over or inside a mold so it gently slumps or drapes into its final shape.

Finished projects are food-safe and suitable for holding a tealight candle. Because kiln firing takes time, artwork will be ready for pickup approximately one week after class. Projects may be picked up individually, or one person may collect the entire group’s artwork.
