Break glass on purpose to make a beautiful set of two smashed glass coasters. In this one-hour workshop, participants will (carefully!) smash squares of chemically reactive glass under newspaper and then transfer them onto clear bases using Elmer’s glue. Each person will get to make two coasters. Then, the artist will take home the pieces to fill in the gaps with a different reactive glass powder and fuse them together in the kiln. Finished pieces will then be ready for pick-up at the workshop location within 1-2 weeks.
