Pittsburgh Glass Center

Celebrate the colors of autumn with handmade fused glass. In this introductory workshop, you’ll explore the fundamentals of fused glass while creating a vibrant fall-inspired suncatcher. Under the guidance of a skilled instructor, you’ll learn how to cut and arrange sheet glass while incorporating frit (colored glass granules) and stringers (thin glass rods) into your seasonal design.

Using warm autumn colors and festive imagery inspired by falling leaves, pumpkins, and harvest themes, you’ll assemble a luminous suncatcher that catches and transforms light. Once your design is complete, we’ll fire it in the kiln so all the pieces fuse together into a finished work of art. Perfect for brightening a window or adding a handmade touch to your seasonal décor.
