Glass Fusing, 8th grade
8th grade students created pendants and magnets with glass. The students understood how to make functional art glass based on Pattern with Rhythm and Balance with Symmetry.

Gorgeous! I want to try this at my school too! Any tips for firing? I need to look this up.
Thanks Marcia! We purchased a bead annealer which had settings for glass fusing, slumping, and PMC programed right in. Very easy that way. The students put the pieces together with white glue, as it burns away in the annealer. This book was helpful: http://www.alpineglass.com/shop/detail/6498 There are also great websites out there as well.
This looks like so much colorful fun. I bet the kids LOVED you for letting them do this! Nice going.
What beautiful work! Does anyone know if/how you can do this in a ceramic kiln? I would love to try this! Thanks for sharing
Thanks Lauren & Barbara! Yes, you can do this in a ceramic kiln, but you have to program it the right way. This is the one I used: http://jenkenkilns.com/af3pbeadannealer.aspx
