Behind the Scenes at Haute Fusion Glass Studio

Posted on Sep 29

Create your own fused-glass art with the help of world renowned glass artist and his studio!

When heat strikes glass, magic happens and glass art is formed. Glass layers and objects fuse together in a blazing hot kiln and create a miraculous piece of art that was not in existence just a few hours prior. This complex medium is made simple by glass artist and instructor, John Ferrando. John facilitates his glass-art magic here in Middletown at Haute Fusion Glass Studio.

Welcome to Haute Fusion Glass Studio & Gallery

The walls of Haute Fusion are adorned with dozens of glass artworks, each one entirely unique to the one beside it. The pieces are available for purchase and every piece is handcrafted by John and his students.

When the light touches these works of art, it’s compelling. I was intrigued by all of the intricate details and wanted to know the story behind each creation.

You can stop by John's studio to admire the works of art in the gallery, or reserve your own workshop time for John to teach you how to create your very own masterpiece!

Learn How, Then Let Creativity Run its Course

This is a passion project for John and he wants to share the gift of glass fusion with the world. The sky is the limit when curating glass art, but starting out can be a bit daunting. John alleviates this stress by teaching workshops to future glass artisans, starting at a basic level.

Whatever you envision, Haute Fusion’s workshops can help fuse it into a reality. John recently released Haute Fusion's new à la carte Workshop Project Lists. You pick the project, then just call the Studio to reserve your date and time. Brings your family or friends to learn something new and exciting, while having fun too. You'll each create a personal, unique fused-glass work of art— and maybe find a new hobby in the process!

Workshops are a great idea for events like date night, girls night out, office parties, birthday parties or family outings. For 8 (or more) guests attending your workshop event, John will reserve the studio for three hours exclusively for your event.
