A two day
workshop during which we will explore a variety of options to create imagery,
depth, and drama in your work by incorporating the power of powders to your
glass technique toolbox. Students will learn to create color fades, produce
patterns and imagery, explore crackle techniques, and use powder wafers. This
survey into the world of powders will open a whole new world of possibilities
by showing you the power of powders!

Cast Glass Flowers
This
easy one day class will expose you to the basics of color casting with glass
powder and frit. Use this technique to achieve jaw dropping results that rival
spring time in the Texas hill country as you learn how to create cast glass
flowers in almost any color under the sun. This is a fun 1 day workshop for
both new and experienced fusers. No previous glass experience required.
Students will learn how to
select and care for molds. They will mix and measure glass frit or powders based
on their color selection and learn how to fill the mold to achieve beautiful
results that require little to no additional finishing work.
9:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

Casting Glass - Dimensional Sculpture
In this three-day workshop we'll cast our own three-dimensional
art glass sculpture. We will begin by discussing important design
considerations as students design and plan for their individual pieces. We will
sculpt in clay; use mold making materials and techniques to create refractory
molds; and measure, cut and stack glass for our specific molds.
Learn about the special considerations that go into a glass casting
firing schedule, including how to heat, cool and anneal thick blocks as well as
uneven thicknesses of glass. This class is open to beginning glass students as
well as experienced fusers. The instructor will work with each individual
student to ensure your project can be executed successfully. Start thinking
three dimensionally, get just a little dirty and have a whole lot of fun making
your own art glass sculpture
9:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m.

Kiln Carving - Mirror Project
In this exciting workshop we will design and create bas relief textures and
patterns using fiber paper to form impressions in glass. Students will make art
glass frames using this technique which can be attached to a mirror to create a
stunning one of kind design element. We'll then learn how to safely and
effectively attach your completed glass frame to a mirror, and discuss
available hanging options.
