In one of our most popular classes, Chris Webster will show you how easy it is to make beautiful, one-of-a-kind dichroic glass jewelry creations that you can give as gifts . . . or wear yourself!

Discover the fire and multicolored beauty of Dichroic Glass Jewelry! What is Dichroic Glass? Dichroic (pronounced "dye-crow-ick") glass, means "two colored." When you look at this glass, it appears to have more than one color at the same time, especially when viewed under different lighting. The effects you achieve when you fire these glasses in a special kiln will remind you of the rainbow patterns in a soap bubble or the colors of dragonfly wings!
