Fused Glass Ornaments

Ohio Glass Museum

The Holidays are here and this will be a fun class to get the whole family together. You’ll each be able to make two fused glass ornaments. They're 1"x 2".  Your choice of a snowman, wreath, or a tree. You’ll be working with flat sheet glass, frit, and stringers for this project. Instead of using it as an ornament you could even wear it as a necklace. 

 No experience necessary; Ages 5 and up with Adult supervision. 

 Your glass will be annealed and ready for pickup in the Gift Shop within two days. Shipping can be arranged for an additional cost at the time of your class. 

 This class is by appointment only and will need to have up to 4-6 people attending. If you would like to sign up please get ahold of our instructor Cassie Beiter at cbeiter@ohioglassmuseum.org to book.

All class-made glass must be picked up within 3 months of class time.  If items are left beyond 3 months, they become property of Ohio Glass Museum.

Cancellation Policy:  Please be sure you can attend class at the time of registration.  24 hour notice required to keep payment as CREDIT to be used towards another class.  All sales final, no refunds.


Because your class takes place before/after the Ohio Glass Museum closes, the front doors will be locked.  Please come to the back door which is labeled "Glass Studio."  The door will be unlocked - just walk right in!

Please make every effort to arrive no later than listed starting time.  Safety, orientation, and demonstration will take place, then participants will make their glass item one at a time with the instructor.  After you make your glass item, you are free to leave the class.  You do not have to stay the full three hours.

SAFETY GUIDELINES

Your safety and ours is important to us! So, anyone who will be working with glass must read our Safety Policy and fill out our Questionnaire/Waiver and Release agreement before Studio workshops or classes!  No sandals or open toed/heeled shoes allowed.


If you are participating in an event please add the event sponsor’s name.  If this is for someone younger than 18 years old the parent or guardian should fill it out and accompany them to the studio.


Safety Policy

Working with glass is an exciting experience, however a few simple rules are needed to ensure a safe and memorable time. It is important to be constantly aware of yourself, others, and your surroundings!

Assume everything in this studio is very sharp or fragile. Be careful where you lean or place your hands. If you don’t know, don’t touch! If you prefer not to participate in a certain step or activity let us know. This is all about having fun and exploring the process of working with glass. In the unlikely event there is an accident notify a staff member immediately.  

For the safety of others if you are sick or think you may be coming down with something, please contact the Museum to kindly reschedule your class.

Pay close attention to your instructor.  They will demonstrate the entire work process and walk you through each step. Ask questions or let them know if you are uncomfortable at any time. You will be working with potentaly sharp glass so we will stress safety and how to handle the glass. 

We reserve the right to deny access or remove any participant from an event based on our assessment of the individual’s potential risk of injury.

In preparation:
Wear closed toe shoes – no open toes or heels, no sandals. You will be standing most of the time so wear comfortable shoes.

Protect your eyes – All participants are required to wear eye protection.  Prescription eyeglasses are fine, or we have both clear and tinted safety glasses available for your usage.  If you have sunglasses or safety glasses, you can bring them.

Please tie back long hair.

No alcohol or illegal drugs. Studios are smoke free.
