There’s something about the upcoming holiday season that makes me want to get creative—and it’s the perfect time to try something new! My fused glass classes are all about exploring techniques, playing with color, and creating pieces you’ll treasure or gift with pride. For November, I have three open classes (details below). If you’ve ever been curious about fused glass, this is your chance to jump in. One of my favorite parts is that everyone makes something different—one student might create a nightlight, another a dish, and someone else jewelry—and yet every piece turns out beautifully. No stress, just creativity and fun. To join in, email me at elegantfusedglass@gmail.com.

Not sure what you want to make? Don’t worry—I’ve have plenty of fun and creative fused glass options to inspire you! Some class favorites include fused glass plant stakes, drink stirrers, puppy paw prints, colorful hearts, vases, votives, dishes, night lights, etc. You’ll choose your own fused glass project and then bring it to life using a wide variety of vibrant materials like vitrigraph, frit, murrine, millefiori, and more.
It also might be the perfect time to make some Fused Glass Christmas ornaments—’tis the season, after all! 🎄 I love seeing what students dream up this time of year. There are so many fun ornament options, including:
✨ Classic holiday shapes like trees, stars, snowflakes, angels, stockings, and Santa hats
✨ Nature-inspired designs such as cardinals, pinecones, holly leaves, and winter mountains
✨ Whimsical pieces like gnomes, snowmen, reindeer, gingerbread people, and cute holiday critters
✨ Textured and layered ornaments with frit, stringers, murrine, and dichroic accents
✨ Personalized ornaments with initials, year tags, pets, or family themes
✨ Abstract & modern winter designs in frosty blues, iridescent whites, and sparkling silver glass
✨ Nativity or faith-themed pieces for those wanting more traditional meaning
✨ Glass icicles and hanging stars—simple yet elegant and perfect for gifting
Whether you love bright, fun, whimsical pieces or elegant, frosty winter sparkle, there are endless creative directions to explore. You can even make a matching set or a keepsake ornament to mark the year!
