Want to create thick glass panels that have great dimension and depth? 

In this 4-day class, students will learn how to apply enamel to glass layers, and then stack and fuse these layers into solid panels.  Topics covered include design and image selection, layout, discussion of enamels and how they respond to fusing temperatures, painting medium, how to mix and apply enamels, fusing schedules, bubble control, kiln loading instructions, and finishing techniques. 

The emphasis of this workshop is the processes involved in creating thick panels that include great dimension.  It is not primarily a painting workshop; however, many painting tips and techniques are also provided.  Although drawing and painting experience is helpful, it is not required. Prior kiln-work/fusing experience is required, however.

Students will complete several initial exercises, and 2 additional projects during this class, and are encouraged to choose and bring to the class printed images for compositions they would like to use for these projects.  Important image selection guidelines will be provided prior to the workshop. Please bring a bag lunch and sketchbook. (Meets in W-7, Rm. 716)
