Kiln-Carving - Low and High Relief Techniques Workshop June 24-25

5/11/2017

 
Spring workshops are going great. I am having such a fine time hanging out, making art. I can't imagine anything better than being with other creative folks, exchanging ideas.

Next up: kiln carving! A few years ago I decided I'd write a book about kiln carving and bas relief techniques. I explored every facet of carving I could think of and made samples to fine-tune the techniques. I was nearly done, but life had other ideas and the book had to wait.

The upside is that I have a lot to share.

Even simple designs cut from fiber paper make striking glass work. Pack the cutouts with glass powders, apply paste relief, mica or metal foils and you'll produce something really special.

It's easy to work big with kiln carving, too, if you're thinking about architectural glass.

No glass experience is necessary, so if you're working in a different medium this is a good chance to try something new. I provide lots of designs to use, or you can design your own.

Come join us if you can, I'd love to see what you come up with. The workshop is June 24-25, more info on the workshop page. Contact me, I love to chat about glass!
