Back by popular demand! In conjunction with its Crazy Quilts exhibit, the Charleston Museum is teaming up with Blue Heron Glass once again. Crazy quilts were a style popular in the late 19th century and were characterized by the use of lavish fabrics such as velvets, satins, and silks, as well as commemorative pieces, symbols, and needlework embellishments.
The crazy quilt style and design elements translate beautifully into fused glass. Learn how to cut glass to a pattern, the basics behind the science of fusing glass (melting compatible glasses together), and how to embellish with fused accents to create a crazy quilt affect. You will have a unique and decorative 8" crazy quilt panel to take home. All of these techniques can be used in many fused projects in the future.
Note: we will begin the workshop at the Museum with a tour of Crazy Quilts. The rest of the workshop will take place at Blue Heron Glass in West Ashley. Participants are responsible for their own transportation.
