Fused Glass Snowflakes at the LUX

The fused glass holiday season has begun 

at the LUX Center for the Arts!

   My first group of students for the season was ready to jump right in! I got lots of great photos of them all working...Since all of the students are newbies and it's a short family class, the easiest way to get started is to use mosaic nippers and cut strips down to glue together in a snowflake pattern.

Getting started...

My favorite part of these classes is seeing the color combos that everyone chooses...

Let It Snow...

While the Midwest is getting pummeled, and the West Coast is getting rained on, the only snow being seen in New Jersey is of the glass variety...

And I am sooooo looking forward to sledding!
Well, all I can do is cross my fingers and hope that it snows during Billy's holiday break, so we can hit the slopes, or rather, the small bumps down the street.

Time to decorate...

Thanksgiving's over, so get out the Christmas Tree!

Well, I actually put the tree up a couple of weeks ago... I had to have a back drop for the snowflakes I've been making recently. Plus, it's easier to get in the holiday spirit and remember that it's almost December if you've got the tree there! It's easy to forget it's winter when the sun's shining and it's in the 70s!
It's still a bit naked, as this is it's first year, but I'm slowly working on that!
