Special Exposure Wednesday

One of our outings over Christmas break took us to a place called All Fired Up. Originally opening as a paint your own ceramics studio, the owner has since added glass fusing.

In glass fusing, you choose a base - either square or round - clear or colored glass. You then choose from many colors and shapes of glass to stack on your base. They even have child-safe glass pieces with rounded edges. Once your pieces are stacked and held in place with a little Elmer's glue, you turn your creation over to the owner for fusing. You can even have your artwork 'slumped' into a bowl.

So here is the beautiful artwork created by Chip, Corey, Ronnie and Ashley!

First, Ashley's sun catcher...



Then Ronnie's suncatcher...



Corey's trivet...



And finally, Chip's slumped bowl...



They all did a wonderful job, don't you think?

They are all gorgeous!! But I'm especially drawn to Ashely's, it's got all my favourite colours!! If you didn't want to use them as sun catches, they would look nice under a candle or if you're having company why not use them as a hot plate/ decorative plate under some nuts or something in a glass dish?? Pretty good for a 'blind' kid and 'disabled' kid ;) just brilliant!

Dalia, using them to hold a candle is a brilliant idea! Thanks!
