Class Fee: Only $245 (non-refundable), includes continental breakfast & lunch each day, all materials and lab fees.
What to Bring: Temperature controlled soldering iron (or iron and rheostat) and iron stand.

Join D&L and Cathy Claycomb for a one-day hands-on course with an emphasis on the artistic possibilities of non-traditional stained glass techniques. Students will create a stained glass masterpiece without foiling or leading. Multiple layers of glass will be chosen for their unique qualities and texture rather than for their light transparency. Students will gild oak to showcase their glass design. Participants will gain a new perspective on glass and cutting skills as they begin to think of glass as sculptural art rather than a color component. Each student will create two exquisite gilded frame projects using techniques learned in this workshop.

During this workshop students will learn to design stained glass without light transmission. Students will create a high profile "solder field" with decorative, sculptured solder on which to design contemporary work. The soldered surface will serve as the design foundation, upon which both focal and peripheral glass elements will be added. Patina techniques will also be used to highlight and amplify the interplay of richly textured solder and smooth sparkling glass. Each student will create one large sculpture piece in this workshop.

Advanced Fusing Techniques:
Pattern Bars, Sushi Plates and Rollups!

A five-day, hands-on advanced workshop, fusing experience required.

Dates: Monday-Friday November 15th-19th, 2010
Time: 8am - 4pm

Class Fee: $989 (non-refundable), includes lab fees,
lunch, snacks and continental breakfast.

We have added an additional element to an already amazing Patty Gray workshop! See your fused glass art transformed into a beautiful vase by a professional glassblower using the "roll-up" technique of glass forming, a process that combines kiln-formed and blown glass.

Learn techniques to create exquisite, gallery quality fused art in this five day workshop. Develop and build upon your design and composition skills while exciting your imagination with new ideas and techniques. Patty Gray will teach many warm glass processes that develop design skills including pattern bars, combing and manipulating glass in the kiln, working with mosaics, high fire projects, pot melts/pours, vitrograph, bas-relief and frit cast objects for inclusion into the final project. Surface design elements will also be explored including frits, powders, stringers, metals, mica powders, frit painting, and dichroic glass. You will be involved in many hands-on projects that develop on new ideas, designs and techniques learned in this workshop and will have the opportunity to make a triptych (3 piece panel) as well as glass bowls and plates. Students will learn many coldworking techniques, from cutting fused pattern bars on a saw, to edge working and grinding using horizontal flat lap machines. This workshop is filled with projects, techniques, equipment and ideas that will open a new world of possibilities.
