No cutting experience is necessary

Dichroic glass is exciting on its own, but combined with etching you can create beautiful masterpieces of your own creation.

In this class we will explore two techniques for etching glass: etching with liquids and crèmes, and using a dremel with an engraving bit.

Using stickers, mastic, tape, fingernail polish and a sharpie pen, we will create our designs and etch them.

 Etching is only the first step.  Once you have etched your dichroic glass, you will learn how to  fuse your small masterpieces into cabochons using a small kiln.  Although ideas and designs are available, feel free to use your own creativity to put a personalized touch on your jewelry.  

Students will make ten – one inch dichroic etched cabochons. As a bonus we will also look at ceramic decals and Profusion Decals and fuse a few low and high fire decals!

Students bring: Notebook, pen/pencil and camera (optional). Wear cotton clothes. Bring ideas and designs you want to etch.
