Workshop Registration
Dorie Guthrie
"Glass + Graphics"
June 13 - 17 (5-day workshop)
This kilnforming workshop is concentrated on a combination of fusing and imagery techniques. It will give students of all skill levels a taste of the varying ways to fabricate graphics onto flat glass and three-dimensional forms, emphasizing sand carving and enamels. The methods to be covered will include decals, photo-resist, enamel painting, powder painting + stencils, and layering imagery. During this workshop, students will also learn the process of cutting/grinding sheet glass, knowledge of multiple fusing styles, and writing proper kiln schedules. Students will be able to take away a multitude of approaches to combining glass and narrative.
This class meets from 9am to 5pm each day, Monday through Friday, with additional studio time Monday through Thursday, from 5pm to 9pm.
