Details
Glass is wonderful through and through. It inspires wonder as a raw material. It inspires wonder in the form of finished objects. And it certainly inspires wonder in between those two states. Just imagine how many times kilnformers have thought: “I wonder why it did that!”
Now is your chance to go deeper into all that wonder. Learn answers to questions like:
- How can I control bubbles?
- Why does some glass break?
- How can you tell when glass has devitrified?
- What are the limits of tested compatible glasses?
- How do you fire glass with greater control and nuance?
Join Ted Sawyer, Bullseye’s Director of Research and Education, as he guides a live online class through a fascinating survey of kilnforming phenomena. You’ll work with your classmates to compare fired glass sample sets as they're displayed online. Together, you'll try to solve the mystery of why the pieces in each set turned out so differently. Once you’ve had time to investigate select case studies, your instructor will present a slide show and field questions as he reveals what caused each sample of glass to behave the way it did.
This adventure in Fusing Forensics will help you understand your material like never before.

Requirements
Live Class Tech Requirements Live Class: Zoom Setup & Requirements
We use Zoom for the live class sessions. Zoom recommends using their official desktop or mobile app for optimal performance. Only use the web browser interface if you cannot access the app—but be prepared for limited functionality.
Recommended Computer & Gear

Because class discussion and instruction often rely on visual details, use a decently sized viewing screen. A tablet may suffice, but phones should be avoided.
Operating System
The latest version of Windows or macOS is recommended. Note that Zoom requires the 64-bit version of Windows to run the desktop app.
For more information about Zoom’s system requirements, see Zoom’s system requirements.
