| materials for glass fusion @ Color Me Mine Thornhill |
As I am always on a lookout for some fun crafts for the
girls to do, I wanted DD#1 to try her hand at glass fusion. At Color Me Mine in
Thornhill, we just dropped in and got some instructions on how to do glass
fusion. DD#1 decided she wanted to do a pendant. She picked her base glass and
we got some help in getting it cut. She was also given instructions on how to
do the cutting herself as well as how to glue the pieces to keep them in place
for firing. For her decoration, she cut the glass into shapes and sizes she
wanted using special scissors and cutters and with eye protection as well as
gloves. As this activity has some glass cutting, the recommended age is 9 and
up.

Once she had all her glass pieces, DD#1 glued them to her base and we left
the piece to be fired. Pick up was about a couple of weeks after and already
included the hook for her pendant. Service was superb and we got really good
instruction, tips and assistance from the owner. DD#1 really enjoyed this
activity and DD#2 cannot wait to give it a try.
They have ceramic painting as well if you prefer to just
paint. Pricing depends on the size of the glass with the smallest 4x4 at $19.
That already includes the other pieces including frit (powdered glass) you need
to decorate your work and firing. Slumping (shaping the glass into bowls or
anything with a depression) and molding are extra. We highly recommend giving
it a try!
