Fused Glass Workshop: Menorah & Mezuzah

Learn the basics of glass fusing while designing and creating a menorah for Hanukkah using glass sheets, frits, powders, and stringers. See different ways to position the candle cups and get help cutting the glass according to your design. In addition, craft a mezuzah and find creative ways to add to your design. Those not of the Jewish faith can create a non-religious candelabra or kinara for Kwanzaa and an ornament instead of a mezuzah.

Please note: Your instructor will fire your creations in his own kiln and they will be available for pickup at Arlington High School within two weeks. Students must wear closed toe shoes, eyeglasses or safety glasses (glasses can be provided to those who do not have them).
