Soigne welcomes new teacher Tracy Matthews and Jewelry Fuse Glass Course

Tuesday, February 26th, 2013

Tracy is a self taught glass artisan who has been working with the craft for over 20 years. On a trip to Montreal in 91 she discovered the art of stained glass and has been hooked ever since.

Tracy’s fascination with jewelry started early in life so combining the two was just natural. Some of her clients have included Aritzia, below the belt, Made in B.C Art Gallery and North Vancouver Arts Gallery.
You can currently find her work at Arts off Main Gallery, Place des Arts and Maple Ridge Art Gallery.

Tracy is so excited to share her love of glass with you.

“Fusing Glass is my key to transformation, my way to change, my escape.”

Discover the brilliance of Fuse Glass in this introduction to fused glass jewelry course. You will have the opportunity to use different colors, textures and patterns of  glass along with noodles, stringers, confetti, rods, frit and cut glass in your jewelry pieces.

The 6 hour course will give you the fundamental method behind glass fusing. No prior glass experience necessary. You will learn how to cut glass, prepare and program the Kiln and fire glass into durable glass cabochons for jewelry making as well as attaching bales to your glass creations. You will leave the class with at least 3 pendants, 2 pairs of earrings and a ring. All supplies and tools supplied.
