Fusing – make your summer glass creation
This summer, enjoy a unique creative experience at Vannes-le-Châtel with an introduction to fusing, a glassmaking technique accessible to all. Young and old alike are invited to create an original composition based on the models on offer: landscape, hot-air balloon, postcard with personalized engraving.
Fusing is a technique that uses small, flat pieces of colored glass on a transparent support. The whole is then heated to a high temperature (820°) in a kiln. The pieces of glass melt, adhere and fuse together.
Each creation reveals a surprising play of light and color. This fun, sensory activity lets you develop your creativity while discovering a know-how that’s still alive and well in the Grand Est region of France.
Please note: fusing creations must be fused in our kilns and will be available at least one week after the activity, during gallery/workshop opening hours.
Enter the world of glass and create your own handmade souvenir, full of emotion and poetry. Reserve your place now for this original summer workshop!
