  • WORKSHOP | G317 | Beginner glass fusing: Pendant party

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

    It’s time for some creative fun! In this introductory workshop, participants will explore the foundational principles of kiln-formed glass while creating a small collection of wearable pieces. Through guided demonstrations and hands-on experimentation, participants will learn about glass compatibility, volume control, and the basics of multi-layer firing while playing with colour, transparency, and form. Working with 96 COE glass and a variety of compatible accessories, participants will design and assemble up to four fused glass pendants or ornaments. Once kiln fired, each piece will be finished with jewellery bails, making them ready to wear, share, or gift. A lively introduction to fused glass that combines technical fundamentals with creative exploration. All project materials and kiln firing are included. When: Saturday, April 25, 2026, from 10 am to 12 pm Fee: $50 + HST (includes all project materials and kiln firing) Beginners are welcome!

  • WORKSHOP | G320 | Fused glass landscape: Translating nature into kiln-formed imagery

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

    Nature captivates us with sweeping landscapes and quiet, awe-inspiring vistas. Translating these scenes into glass allows those moments to linger long after the journey has ended. In this workshop, participants will explore how landscape imagery can be interpreted through kiln-formed glass. Techniques such as glass impasto, frit-based texture (frittage), and cut glass applications will be introduced to help build surface interest and structure within a composed glass panel. Working with 96 COE glass and compatible accessories, participants will translate a favourite photograph or remembered landscape into glass. Concepts of depth, colour relationships, and perspective will emerge through thoughtful design, layered construction, and kiln firing. All project materials and kiln firing are included. When: Saturday, April 25, 2026, from 1 pm to 4 pm Fee: $178 + HST (includes all project materials and kiln firing) Beginners are welcome!

  • COURSE | G312 | Fused glass mosaic: Wall planter or tealight holder

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

    Spring showers bring wall flowers Celebrate the long-awaited return of spring by creating a vibrant and functional accent for your garden or patio. In this four-evening workshop, participants will design and fabricate a series of fused glass mosaic butterflies along with a coordinating fused glass mosaic backdrop. Once completed, the glass elements will be mounted onto a metal frame with a planter or tealight holder, creating a luminous seasonal feature to enjoy outdoors throughout the warmer months. Working with 96 COE glass and a range of compatible accessories, participants will explore two distinct fused glass mosaic techniques that achieve a clean, contemporary surface without the use of traditional grout. Through guided demonstrations and studio work time, participants will design, cut, and assemble their glass components while developing confidence with mosaic composition in kiln-formed glass. Following kiln firing and slumping, rare earth magnets will be adhered to the butterflies, allowing them to be positioned and repositioned on the metal armature. This flexible mounting system makes it easy to rearrange the composition outdoors during the growing season and later bring the butterflies indoors to brighten winter spaces. All project materials, kiln firings, magnets, and metal armature are included. When: Thursdays, April 2, 9, 23, and 30, 2026, from 7 to 10 pm Fee: $595 + HST (includes all project materials, kiln firings, magnets, and metal armature) Beginner fusers are welcome!

  • WORKSHOP | I464 | Glass Ikebana: Harmony in form and light

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

    Rooted in the traditional Japanese art of Ikebana, this workshop explores the beauty of balance, asymmetry, and thoughtful composition. Ikebana arrangements celebrate the relationship between vessel, space, and the natural form of flowers — transforming simple materials into living art. In this one-day workshop, participants will create an elegant two-piece fused glass Ikebana vessel designed to support minimalist floral arrangements. Working with 96 COE glass, participants will learn how to apply Glassline paint, compose delicate linear elements using glass stringers, and shape their forms using fibre molds. Following kiln firing and slumping, the finished piece becomes a refined glass object ready to hold seasonal stems or branches, allowing the maker to continue the artistic dialogue between glass, space, and nature. All project materials and firing are included. Flowers not included. When: Saturday, May 2, 2026, from 10 am to 3 pm Fee: $225 + HST (includes all project materials and kiln firings) Beginners are welcome!

  • WORKSHOP | I466 | Faerie series, II | Seasonal garden stake series: Moonlight muse

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

    The enchantment continues with the second workshop in our Faerie series. Inspired by midsummer magic, the Faerie muse brings a mystical presence to garden spaces, balconies, or glowing window displays. With shimmering iridescent glass, sparkling Mica, and a softly glowing moon, this luminous piece captures the quiet wonder of a summer night. In this two-morning workshop, participants will begin by creating their faerie figure along with delicate firefly companions and graceful branches created in the vitrigraph kiln. A dichroic glass scrap pack is available for those who wish to add extra sparkle to their faerie muse. During the second session, participants will explore the use of Mica, a naturally reflective silicate mineral, learning how it can be incorporated into kiln-formed glass to create a brilliant metallic sheen. The composition is completed with a moon accented with glow pigment, allowing the piece to softly illuminate once the sun goes down. Place your finished faerie among summer flowers or display it indoors where light can catch its shimmering surfaces — and let the midsummer enchantment begin. All project materials and kiln firings are included.
