Fused Glass Love Birds Workshop with Diane Enger THIS CLASS IS FULL
In this class we will be creating a pair of Love Bird pot stickers for spring! Each bird is approximately 3 inches by 4 inches. There will be a variety of colors to choose from. We will be decorating the birds with enamel paint and then assembling them.
This class is for beginners and intermediates. It will give you an overview of the tac fusing process and practice using glass enamels. There will be little glass cutting involved, as most of the glass will be precut with minimal adjusting needed. We will go over the directions for assembling the stakes, and after you pick up your fused bride, they should be good to go. The stakes are approximately 12 inches tall. They make a great and colorful addition to your garden, window box or planter - also a great gift for family or friends.

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…
