Glass Firing Workshop for Teachers

If you can fire ceramics in your school kiln, you can fire glass! This fun, informative 90 minutes training empowers you to fire fused-glass projects in the kiln your school already owns. Using the method I used prior to the advent of computer-controlled kilns and kits of pre-cut glass pieces you will learn how easy it is to use this exciting material in your classroom. By learning how to create your own beautiful, one-of-a-kind necklaces, your will how simple it is to teach your students to create pieces they will be proud to wear or give as Mother’s Day gifts. This same method can be used to create sun catchers which can reinforce many learning concepts such as symmetry and fractions. All participants will receive access to material kits they can use to create projects in their classrooms. For more information and to see images of projects go to lisawilcke.com and click on Teacher Training. This training can accommodate up to 30 participants. If your community doesn’t have that many, feel free to invite teachers from other schools as well.
