Fused Glass With Plaster Forms - Free stencils w/purchase

I've been teaching an intermediate fusing class for a remarkably talented group (upping my teaching game for sure) and my reference library of samples has been quite useful. Although we haven't had time to use this technique in class, it's one of my favorites. I mean, look at this thing:

Today's tutorial shows you how to get started with plaster elements, there are other tutorials in the knowledtebase demonstrating how to make projects with the plaster forms.

I highly recommend making a sample set for your reference library, it's a fun technique and easy to use.

For a limited time I'm including a set of stencils with every order over $50. No coupon code necessary, just place your order and the stencils will be in your box. While supplies last (I have about 30 sets).

Don't forget about Open Studio if you are in the SLC area, we are going to have so much fun!

Fused Glass with Plaster Forms

If you haven’t tried fusing with plaster forms yet, you should give it a try. The main idea is to create a small three dimensional plaster form and then fuse glass over it. After fusing, the plaster can be removed leaving a detailed copy of the plaster form in the glass.

Today we’ll make a set of reference pieces to have on hand for future project planning. I always start a new technique with a set of reference pieces, my ‘library’ has hundreds of sets now, and they come in quite handy. I highly recommend the practice.
