About the Instructor:
Rose Walsh is a Ridgway based Artist and Teacher bringing a wealth of knowledge and experience to the studio classes that she teaches. Her classes, offered in a variety of media, focus on the joy of creation as students learn the basics of the medium being taught. From her still life’s and contemporary scenes, as well as, her experimental explorations, Rose is never at a loss for subject matter. She creates intuitively using color, texture and composition for emotional impact reflecting her perception of life. She enjoys working in a variety of media and does not hesitate to mix media, if she finds it necessary to her expression. Walsh sculpts in a variety of media, as well as, creates jewelry in silver, fused glass and gemstones. She has won awards in regional and national shows and her work is in private and public collections. Walsh owned and ran Mountain Arts Studio, a small art school, as well as, Coldwater Gallery of Fine Art, both in Ridgway, where she taught art classes to youth, as well as, adults. She is passionate for children, and mentors local youth through Art Partners and at her church. Walsh’s work may be viewed at rosewalshstudio.com.

"GO" DATE: Monday, March 1, 2010
The "go" date is the date at which WCA determines whether there are enough students or not to run the class. If this is a class you are interested in, please be sure to enroll before the "Go" date (and encourage your friends to do so as well) so that we can be sure to run the class! We will notify you at the end of the business day on the "GO" date if the class is to be cancelled so that you can make other plans for that date, but ideally, we'll see you at the class!
Learn the Techniques to Fuse Glass and Come Out of this Class with a Beautiful Fused Glass Dish!
This class is very exciting, visually stimulating, and tons of fun. Working with BEAUTIFUL glass, a few simple hand tools (glass cutter, safety glasses, etc.) students learn the techniques to fuse glass. Amazing one-of-a-kind pieces will be created and a product that you will surely be proud of (for keeping or for giving this holiday season) will be the end result! The class focus is on the Joy of Creation, however, glass cutting techniques, studio safety, and properties of glass will also be covered. Students will need to return to the studio another day to pick up their work.
