DIY Fusing Center

Just getting started or want to find out if glass art is for you? Think of our fusing center as a try-it before you buy-it opportunity. From the moment you walk into the center, you are transported into the glass studio with top of the line tools, equipment, supplies, and the largest selection of fusible glass in the state. Whether you choose from the center’s available patterns, molds, and ready made design elements or go entirely based on your own creativity; you’re sure to make a one-of-a-kind project.

In addition to the complete System96 product line, we also carry 54 different types of 90COE glass, some 104COE glass, and a huge selection of dichroic products by CBS, DichroMagic (and Deluxe), and Savoy. We not only carry a variety of dichroic sampler packs and ½ lb scrap bags but we also offer ¼ sheets, patterns, precuts, decals, slicks, sizzle stixs, and bracelet strips. Within our System96 inventory artists can choose from full sheets (2’x2’), ½”x12” strips, ½” squares, pebbles, nippets, cut-ups, pre-formed base plate shapes (hearts, circles and squares), 5-6mm rods, noodles, both standard stringers and liquid stringers, plus a full assortment of frits from chips and shards to fine powders. Then there are the non-glass applications and embellishments including mica powders in multiple colors, copper mesh sheets in a variety of styles (weave, squares and diamonds), and the new Glass-line papers. Then there are the firing materials to consider, we got you covered with a great collection of kiln wash and fiber supplies (blankets, paper, and Thinfire), ceramic and metal molds, and if creating your own mold is your thing, Kaiser Board is the product.

Perfect for Parties and Outings

Need a new twist on hosting a party or an artistic outing? Our Fusing Center is the perfect solution for all ages and skill levels! It can be reserved for private parties for either adults or children (5+) allowing the participants to become a glass artist for the day and decorate individual projects based on selected kits ranging in price from as little as $5 per kit/participant.

Most kits consist of a pre-formed base plate in a variety of shapes and colors that have already been cut to size which frees up the artist/participant to use their time creating their custom designed window panel, plate, coaster, suncatcher, and/or other art piece. More advanced participants can take advantage of the more complex patterns and designs using the various tools and equipment provided in the fusing center.
