Join BillieJo for an immersive exploration of fused glass landscape-making, using glass, powder, and paint to capture the beauty and atmosphere of the natural world.

We’ll begin by experimenting with a variety of fused glass techniques to create small test tiles. Through these hands-on explorations, you’ll discover how layering, blending, texture, and firing temperatures influence color, depth, and atmospheric effects.

Building on what you learn, you’ll create your own fused glass landscape, combining layers of color and texture to evoke distance, light, and movement. Whether inspired by rolling hills, distant horizons, or abstract impressions of nature, you’ll have the freedom to experiment, refine your techniques, and develop a landscape that reflects your unique artistic vision.

No need to have it all figured out before you begin! Come ready to explore, play with the possibilities of glass, and embrace the unexpected discoveries that happen along the way.

Participants will create one finished landscape approximately 8 × 10 inches, along with several small test pieces to explore the techniques learned throughout the workshop.
