FEELS FABULOUS!
A  2- day workshop for all skill levels
-

-
How a finished piece feels in your hands is as important as how it looks visually. Learn what goes into making glass feel smooth as satin, as well as how to create dynamic textures. Students will learn a variety of fusing and cold working techniques to add additional interest and complexity to their finished work. They will work with Bullseye powder, frit, stringer and sheet glass to create surface application that enhances the overall work. We will discuss when and how to utilize primers, fiber paper/blanket and lava cloth to achieve specific results. Make a piece people will pick up and never want to put down. There is all kinds of good information for any fuser who is ready to take their work to the next level.

IMPRESSIONS IN GLASS
-
-
Drop your chisel and learn how to achieve a sculpted look in your glass with the assistance of your kiln. We will design and create bas relief images and textures using fiber paper to form impressions in glass. This is a wonderful technique to add dimension and pattern with economy of both labor and materials. Use the smooth clean surface on top and look through to the pattern within the glass. Or turn it over and not only see but feel the shapes and textures.
