My Project

These tools will help spark a love for learning and creating in my high school art students. My students love learning about new art mediums and this project will give my students the opportunity to create beautiful art with a material many of them have never used before. My students will learn the art of fused glass, an art form many of my students may not have the resources available to learn outside of school. These tools will provide a new creative outlet for my students to explore for years to come.
