    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

  • WORKSHOP | I465 | Faerie series, I | Fusing fun: Faerie house lantern

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

    Summer lights, summer nights — faerie homes that shine so bright. Bring a touch of enchantment to your patio or balcony with these whimsical fused glass lanterns. Designed as tiny glowing dwellings, each lantern becomes part of a magical faerie village that sparkles warmly through long summer evenings. In this playful workshop, participants will use 96 COE glass and studio accessories to design and assemble their own miniature faerie houses in glass. Colour, texture, and layered details will transform simple forms into charming lantern panels that glow beautifully once illuminated. Once kiln fired and assembled with hardware, the finished lanterns can be swapped out or rearranged, allowing your faerie village to evolve and shine throughout the season — perfect for creating a little midsummer magic wherever they are displayed. All project materials, kiln firing, and hardware are included. When: Thursdays, June 4 AND 11, 2026, from 7 to 10 pm Fee: $225 + HST (includes all project materials, kiln firing, and hardware) Glass cutting experience is required. Beginners, please first take an introductory workshop.

  • 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. Optional: Dichroic scrap pack and Stake hardware When: Saturdays, June 6 AND 13, 2026, from 10 am to 12 pm Fee: $275 + HST (includes all project materials and kiln firings) + Optional: Clear dichroic scrap pack/$65 + HST, Garden stake/$95 + HST
