In this two-hour beginner friendly class, students will craft a set of two fused glass mosaic coasters using beautiful glass globs in a variety of sizes and colors. The range of sizes and the smoothness of the globs adds a wonderful gem-like richness to these pieces. Participants will intuitively arrange the glass, playing with color, texture, and spacing to create a composition entirely their own.
