Read what other studios are saying about Delphi's new program
I had an awesome day with Denise from Delphi learning about glass! I have had glass in my studio for 3 years and have never had it in the front of my studio for walk in customers. She was extremely helpful showing me different ways to integrate it into my studio. After I left her class, I went right to my studio and started doing all the things I learned there! I will have glass up and running within the week, thanks to her help! You are wonderful Denise!
Thanks,
Natalie - Cafe' Kiln

Glass Fusing Startup Packages for Ceramic Studios
Terms & Conditions
Frequently asked questions:

Do I need a new glass kiln?

Not necessarily. You can use your ceramic kiln to fire your glass projects, however, having a digital controller on the kiln is a must. Glass is very sensitive to heat, therefore, controlling how fast it ramps up and cools down is very important. We will give you some guidelines that will help you with the firing of your ceramic kiln for glass.

Is fusing glass difficult?

Working with glass is not hard – it takes a little education and practice. Delphi Glass has a how-to video library and offers many other educational resources. In addition, your Studio Package comes with instructions on how to get started, samples, project guides and workshop ideas. You can always contact Delphi Glass Experts at 800-248-2048 to get help with your projects.

How expensive is it to start with glass?

The new Fused Glass Studio Packages were designed specifically for PYOP/Ceramic Studios. There are three plans that make it affordable for studios to add fusing:

  • Packages start at $250, $500 and $850. Click here for a side-by-side comparison of the three packages.
  • Glass sheets come in convenient sizes. In addition to 24"x24" sheets, we also offer 12"x12" squares. This allows for adding many colors without purchasing large sheets of glass. Chips, pebbles and frit are another great way to add color and variety to your studio. We also offer precut glass for quick and easy projects.

How do I set up glass in my studio?

Adding glass to your studio is easier than you may think. Delphi Glass provides the products, and expert support and education to help you get started. To support studios like yours, Delphi reached out to ceramic studio owner Denise Christmas-Gibson to develop the Glass Fusing Program.

Denise Christmas-Gibson, owner of Amazing Glaze in Central Florida, has recently become Delphi's Ceramic Studio Program Director, dedicated to supporting PYOP/Ceramic Studios. She has been profitably offering fused glass in her ceramic studio for five years, and it now represents more than half of her annual revenue. Denise is personally available to answer any questions and help you set up your glass program. Contact Denise at 800-248-2048 x3066 or denise@delphiglass.com.
