These are photos of student work from my recent Fused Glass Jewelry class at the
Thousand Islands Craft School at the
Handweaving Museum in Clayton, NY. Students were taught how to make a pendant with a hidden slide, earrings, pendants with bails and bracelets. I did all of the firing, and assembling of the jewelry after the class in my
studio. It only takes about an hour to fire the pieces but way too many hours to cool to finish during the class time. Class was 4 hours. I have attended a class where the firing was done during the class but it was a 6 hour class and very little time was available for making the pieces. Teaching the hidden slide takes up quite a bit of time and I like to give students time to try out different designs and look at all the glass.
Here are two examples of the hidden slide and one of the bracelets. All the students did beautiful work.
Earrings and a pendant with a cold fused (glued on) bail. I love the thick rubber cord with some of these larger pendants.

The detail in these is incredible!
