Glass on Glass Heart Mosaic Workshop with Diane Enger
“What The World Needs Now is Love”
In this class we will create a glass-on-glass mosaic, using a pre-cut heart as our focal point. We will use all transparent glass and the light passing through the piece will reflect the glass colors in all directions. There will be minimal glass cutting for this project. It is a great opportunity to learn to cut glass or practice your cutting skills. Our finished glass piece measures 8x8” and is mounted in a shadow box frame which allows it to sit in front of a window or on a shelf. The frame is not a part of the materials cost but will be available for purchase at $15. This “Skylight Window” will spread love around your world, and it will be ready just in time for Mother’s Day.

Diane Enger started her glass journey working in stained glass, switched to fusing, and has been fusing glass for over 30 years. After receiving a master’s degree in art, she taught art in the Illinois Public School System, Kindergarten through Junior College, as well as gifted classes for 26 years. Diane chose to retire with her husband to the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains in North Carolina. She now finally has the time to be a full-time artist and fused glass teacher.
Glass fusing is a process of combining different glasses and components and heating them in a kiln. By manipulating time and temperature, different depths and surfaces can be created. She says her art is about reflection and contrast; to create visual pieces that give form to her thoughts and observations, using glass and the variety of textures that can be created using it. This combination creates a flow of designs intended to portray her reflections on life – external and internal. She hopes that her work inspires you to take time to reflect…
