And Now for Something Completely Different

This video course uses Bullseye colored transparent sheet glass, powders and clear glass for a multi-dimensional, mesmerizing watercolor look. If you want to advance your fused glass projects, and think you've seen it all, think again!

In this easy-to-understand tutorial, follow along on three different fun projects, each of which is fired five times. Watercolor Glass is beginner-friendly! A passing acquaintance with powders is recommended but not necessary. Experienced fusers will also appreciate a method that's different and fresh.


An Organic, Painterly Approach

Discover a new way to fuse glass over multiple firings — and learn to think like a watercolorist. This means building your colors slowly, from light to dark, and looking for opportunities to add and subtract color as you work through the pieces. You'll find a whole new color palette beyond the usual Bullseye sheet glass catalog, and some interesting textures as well.


More Than just a Technique Class

Kim doesn't just demonstrate how to do this. She also shares her thought process and why she makes the decisions she does in putting the pieces together. Her design eye is on full display as she talks about color, composition, texture, and shapes. It's a fascinating window into the mind of a graphic designer.


Learn at Your Own Pace

The course is broken up into three separate projects, and each has six videos -- one for each day it was worked on and then fired. The total length of the combined lessons is 1 hour 51 minutes. And for our students with less than perfect hearing, there is a closed-caption video for each lesson.


What You Need: Materials and Tools (3:31 minutes, 1 video)


Blue / Green Project (34:45 total minutes, 6 videos) This project uses sky and ocean colors, and will be fired five times.


Red / Orange Project (27:20 minutes, 6 videos) This project is made with hot colors, and will be fired five times.


Muted Colors Project (34:34 minutes, 6 videos) Learn to plan a design and use some different shapes. This color palette is more neutral, and the piece will be fired five times.


BONUS VIDEO: Taking it Further and Lessons Learned (11:41 minutes, 1 video) Fusers LOVE this video. It's a look at some of the work Kim made shortly after developing the technique. She stumbled badly in her first attempts to make "real" work with this method, so you can avoid making some of her mistakes and shorten your learning curve. Also, this section will give you some ideas on how to adapt the technique and make it your own.


Unlimited Course Access: Some platforms can limit your access. Maybe you can't see the tutorial as often as you'd like. Or perhaps there's an expiration date on it. We don't do that. We understand that everyone learns differently and sometimes life gets in the way of art. So review as often as you need to and come back whenever you'd like. Your videos will still be here.

Three Projects + a Bonus Video

Watercolor Glass in blue

Blue / Green Project

For the first project, you'll create a layered tile in blues and greens, and fire it five times. Learn how to add layers of colors on top of each other, use powders to make interesting lines and textures, and thin out colors with clear glass.

Watercolor Glass in red

Red / Orange Project

You will start out by making a background pattern in a dark color, and then layer warm tones on top for a monochromatic look. You will also create some custom colors with powders. Five firings.

Watercolor Glass in muted colors

Muted Colors Project

Getting tired of squares? You will make a piece that makes use of some different shapes and uses muted colors to make a piece different than the first two. This will require five firings.
