GLASS/DRAWING/PAINTING – SUMMER SESSION 6
July 28-August 9, 2024 (11 STUDIO DAYS)
Suzanne Head
Drawn to Glass

This workshop will examine methods of drawing and painting within layers of fused glass. We will begin with demonstrations of drawing with Bullseye powders (frit), using high-fire enamels with brushes and dip pens, and sifting frit through stencils to make repeatable patterns. This will be followed by a short class project using these techniques. Once students are comfortable with the process, they will begin self-directed projects, outlining a plan for each layer of glass, testing ideas with experiments and samples, and learning the kiln schedules needed to make it all happen. Students may focus on abstract or representational imagery and may cut stencils or trace to aid in creating their designs. All levels. Kiln studio (glass).
