    WORKSHOP | I461 | Seasonal fused glass garden stake series: Winter nights (February 7, 2026)

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

    A beautiful new addition to our Seasonal fused glass garden stake series, Winter nights is the perfect artistic transition into the long, luminous evenings of the season. Inspired by the dancing lights of the Aurora Borealis, this striking design captures movement, depth, and shimmer in glass. Participants will create a layered fused glass panel featuring a multi-layer silhouette, expressive frittage application, and sparkling dichroic star accents that catch the light by day and glow with warmth as nights grow longer. This project balances guided instruction with creative freedom, allowing each piece to reflect individual colour choices and interpretation. The finished work may be displayed as a garden stake or stand-alone glass art piece, bringing seasonal beauty indoors or out. No beginner fusers, please. All project materials and firing are included. Metal garden stake (optional): $95 + HST When: Saturday, February 7, 2026, from 10 am to 4 pm Fee: $325 + HST (includes all project materials and firing) + Metal stake (optional): $95 + HST

  • WORKSHOP | I463 | Sculptural fused glass: Wall triptych

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

    Light in relief: Sculptural fused glass triptych Sculpting with glass offers endless possibilities for kiln-formed artists. In this two-afternoon workshop, participants will explore sculptural fused glass techniques to create a luminous 24-inch × 16-inch triptych designed to interact with light and invite contemplation from multiple viewpoints. Working with 96 COE glass, participants will be introduced to relief-based construction methods that combine casting, layering, and kiln-formed texture. During the first session, participants will cut and assemble glass components and cast dimensional forms over hand-made fibre molds. Instruction will cover the preparation and use of fibre blanket molds, as well as firing considerations for achieving controlled sculptural results. In the second session, participants will build depth and texture behind their original compositions using kiln-safe casting powders and multi-layer firing techniques. These methods create subtle surfaces and dimensional backgrounds that enhance the interplay of light across the finished panels. By the end of the workshop, each participant will have developed a three-panel sculptural composition that demonstrates both structural and textural kiln-forming processes. Project background glass, glass accessories, kiln firings, kiln fibres, casting material, and hardware are included. Optional Fish or Flower glass packages are available, or participants may bring their own compatible 96 COE glass materials. When: Saturday, March 21 AND 28, 2026, from 1 to 4 pm Fee: $496 + HST (includes project background glass, glass accessories, kiln firings, kiln fibres, casting material, and hardware) + Glass package (optional): Fish/$60 + HST OR Flowers/$75 + HST
