I was gifted a glass fusion class at Peninsula Art academy. The class was for how to make colored flower lawn ornaments. After sketching out the petals and design (I changed my design when I realized how you cut glass). I quickly found out why my prior cutting glass failed. I was never applying enough pressure. Was shown how to make glass cuts and given window glass to practice on. Next was being shown how the grinder works to remove the sharp edges on the glass.
