In this class you will have a choice between 2 different fish. Choose the colors for the fish you want to make.

You will need a 9x12 tile which can be checked out before the class.  Instructor will provide a template for each fish.

You will need 9 x 12 papyros paper for the tile which can be bought in the studio store (check in advance for availability) a sheet of 8 x 11 clear glass and any other glass color and embellishments you want to use for your fish.
