Beginner Fused Glass Class

Instructor: Cody Mohr

This introductory class is designed for individuals with little to no experience in glass fusing. Participants will learn the fundamentals of working with fusible glass, including cutting, layering, and kiln-forming techniques. The class covers basic design principles, safety procedures, and an overview of how heat and time affect glass in the kiln. Students will complete one or more small projects—such as coasters, tiles, or simple plates—while gaining hands-on experience with tools and materials. All supplies are provided, and no prior glass experience is necessary.

Emergency Policy 

In case of injury or illness, Museum security will provide basic first aid and ensure the student is as comfortable as possible. If professional medical attention is needed, 911 will be called to transport the individual to the nearest hospital. Every effort will be made to notify the student's emergency contacts. 

Class Changes/Cancellations 

If a class must be canceled, registered participants will be notified promptly and given the option to transfer to another class or receive a full refund. 

To withdraw from a class, submit your cancellation request at least two weeks before the class start date. Requests should be sent to: 

Email: [email protected] 

Phone: 419.255.8000 x 8128 

You may transfer to another class within the same semester or receive a refund. Cancellations made less than two weeks before the class start date are non-refundable. 

End of Class Pick-Up Procedures: 

For safety reasons, parents/guardians who have a student taking the class under the age of 15 must drop off and pick up the student directly at the classroom door. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.  

If emergency contacts are unreachable after class ends and there are no other approved arrangements for the student's departure, Museum security may contact the Toledo Police Department if a minor is still at the Museum 60 minutes after class ends. 

Medical Needs/Accommodations: 

Please inform us of any allergies, medical conditions, or specific behavioral, physical, emotional, or mental health needs before the class begins. Providing this information will help us support your student effectively during the class.
