PROJECTS

--------

DEMOS
|
Full
Fritting
Create
a glass piece that fuses with a completely flat, smooth surface. Your
imagery is captured within the frit and gives you a different look than
the
method
you now use of stacking glass .
|
|
Painting
and Using Stamps
There
are many materials that can be applied to glass: paints
and dyes can be used to create a very
original piece. Bill will give a demonstration on what you can look
forward to
creating in future work. |
|
|
|
Fiber
Paper Imagery
Many
of you have asked how to put images in glass with a single color. It is
done
using fiber papers and Bill is going to take the mystery out of this
project. |
|
Clear
Capping
Ever
wonder how to get those checkerboards and squares to fit together and
look as
smooth as one piece of glass? This is
also on the list for a demo. |
Don't
forget your lunch,
drinks, snacks, and CD's
All
other materials, tools, glass, and kiln firing are included.
