Glass Fusers in Pittsburgh area

Post by Paulette »

Hi,
I'm heading back north and leaving my lampwork supplies in FL. Need to find suppliers/shops in the Pittsburgh area that teach fusing classes. Anywhere within 1 hour's drive is good.

Thanks for your help.

When I last visited the Pittsburgh Glass Center, a little over a year ago, they expressed interest in some day having a fusing shop. I offered to help build a kiln for them.

My parents no longer reside there so my visits to Pgh will be fewer.

I've been to the PCG. It is very nice for glass blowers and lampworkers. I didn't notice anything going on for fusing, though. Aren't there any shops around that cater to fusers?
