In this class, we will go more in depth with some of the techniques touched on in Basic Glass Fusing, mainly using stringers and powder. This class is for students who have taken beginning glass fusing, and have a good understanding of the basics. We will focus on creativity and expanding on techniques. The projects are carefully chosen and will have options within them. Nance will contact students prior to class.

Nance has been working in glass for over 30 years, focusing on fusing for 25 years. Trained in Graphic Design, she worked in a variety of interesting jobs to help support her art habit and pay bills. Nance first came to the Clearing in the early 1980s with her mom, Ellen Eads, and fell in love with the wonderful creative spirit that flows from this place. After several classes and bumps in her personal path, she became a “Clearing Regular”. When the current fusing teacher decided to retire (at the age of 83), Nance was able to step in and has been teaching since. Nance is a regionally recognized artist and enjoys art and music. A recent “Hawthorn Award” recipient,  she loves the Clearing and its beauty and spirit.
