Silo Glass Studio and Gallery is offering Open Studio hours for experienced fusers (or Fusing 101 equivalent). We sell glass, supplies, and tools. Come play in the studio, use our composition / classroom workspace with basic tools and supplies. Chester or Elissa will be around to assist you. Firing and cold shop are separate. Composition area is $6 an hour (1/2 hour minimum) or if you are working on something from one of the classes, it is free.
APPOINTMENTS SHOULD BE MADE AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE!
Materials- Bring or purchase your glass and accessory glass (frit, stringers, dichro, etc.) as these items are not included. Scrap glass is sold by the pound in the studio. All glass is Bullseye 90 COE.
Tools include: cutter, L square, breaker, grozing pliers, pencil, pen, sharpie, ruler, scoop, brush and tweezers. Also use of a small grinder.
