  • COURSE | G323 | Fused glass mosaic: A monochromatic study

    Glasstronomy Studios 2600 John St., Unit 108, Markham, ON, Canada

    From ancient, tiled murals to contemporary abstracts, glass mosaics have long captivated us with their colour, pattern, and visual rhythm. But what if you could capture the expressive beauty of mosaic art without the mess or the limitations of a purely visual surface? Welcome to fused glass mosaics — a tactile, dimensional, and surprisingly seamless approach to this timeless art form! Over four evenings, participants will explore the creative possibilities of a monochromatic palette using 96 COE compatible glass to design and create a one-of-a-kind 12-inch × 18-inch fused glass mosaic. Week one: Explore design principles including contrast, visual flow, composition, and expressionism, to develop your original mosaic design. Weeks two and three: Discover the art of mosaic construction, experiment with monochromatic colour selection, and prepare your composition for kiln firing. Week four: Bring your mosaic together with a glass grout application, revealing the finished composition and the beautiful interplay of colour, texture, and form. Experience the finishing process that transforms individual glass elements into a unified work of art! You have to see it to believe it! All project materials and kiln firings are included. Beginner glass fusers are welcome. Glass cutting experience is required. When: Thursdays, November 5, 12, 19, and 26, 2026, from 7 to 10 pm Fee: $495 + HST (includes all project materials and kiln firings)

    Glasstronomy Studios 2600 John St., Unit 108, Markham, ON, Canada

    Holiday glass + Great company = Cherished memories in the making Create something beautiful. Share the fun. The holidays are a time for colour, sparkle, and spending time together! Discover the joy of creating with glass in one of our festive beginner workshops. Whether exploring the magic of kiln-fired colour or catching rainbows through sparkling bevels, participants will learn new skills, experiment with beautiful materials, and create a seasonal treasure to gift or enjoy at home. Better together! Register for either beginner workshop with a friend and enjoy 10% off the workshop fee for each participant when you sign up as a pair. We love the rainbows that dance through beveled glass, especially during the holidays! Join us for a morning of hands-on bevel and solder play as sparkling glass elements come together in a seasonal snowflake, perfect for gifting or displaying throughout the winter months. Participants will be introduced to the traditional copper-foil technique, learning to wrap and solder glass bevels and beads as well as basic decorative soldering techniques, to create a 6-inch to 8-inch glass suncatcher. Explore the satisfying process of joining individual glass elements while discovering how light, texture, and reflective surfaces bring this winter-inspired design to life. A little sparkle, a little soldering, and a beautiful handmade keepsake to take home! All project materials are included. Beginners are welcome.

  • WORKSHOP | I471 | Fused and foiled fun: Holiday mantel hook

    Glasstronomy Studios 2600 John St., Unit 108, Markham, ON, Canada

    Beautiful art glass is a joy to create, but when a treasured piece becomes functional as well as decorative, that’s when the magic really happens! Add another original to the holiday glass collection with a festive workshop that brings together stained glass, kiln-fired colour, and three-dimensional form. Over two afternoons, participants will cut and shape 96 COE compatible glass, then personalize their creations with glass powders, frit, stringers, and the brilliant shimmer of dichroic glass. After kiln firing, participants will return to assemble and finish one of three seasonally inspired, three-dimensional glass sculptures, transforming their work into a unique decorative mantel hook mounted on a weighted metal base. Whether it’s a playful seasonal accent or the next treasured addition to a growing collection of holiday glass art, this workshop celebrates the perfect trifecta: creativity, craftsmanship, and function! All project materials and kiln firings are included. Beginner glass fusers are welcome. Glass cutting and soldering experience required. When: Saturdays, November 28 and December 5, 2026, from 1 to 4 pm Fee: $225 + HST (includes all project materials and kiln firings)
