Fused Glass Landscapes with Katrina Jameson – G26070409
Transfer your favorite landscape into a beautiful fused glass masterpiece. Cut and layer sheet glass, frit, powders and dichroic glass to add depth and dimension. Build your masterpiece using multiple techniques and multiple firings. We will cover basic glass cutting skills as well as design and composition. Mornings will be spent learning new techniques with open studio time in the afternoons and evenings to put it all together. We will be focusing on fused glass landscapes but will have time to create pendants and other small fused glass objects.
Ghost Ranch has all the basic tools and all of the consumable supplies that you will need for the week. The cost of these is included in your registration fee. Additional specialty supplies for more advanced projects or to continue fusing at home will be available for purchase from your instructor.
This is a perfect class for beginners as well as those with some fused glass experience, (12 years minimum age). Because of limited kiln space and time for firing, we will be making small test tile projects sized 4”X 4” and smaller with a larger final project.
