Our classes are intended to teach “small canvas” techniques. Those are particularly well suited for jewelry, but can be expanded to use in larger applications.

This class is a wonderful look at a recently developed addition to the elements glass artists can use in their work. It is very flexible and can create looks, not previously  possible.

We will start with  a full description of Glass Clay and a description of the uses for this wonderful material. The remainder of the class will be a hands on experience.. We will:

1) Make free forms

2) Create die cut forms for use in larger pieces.

3)  Making Bails using Glass Clay.

4)  Give our Clay textures and 3 dimensional elements.

5)Create small elements (charms) that can be added to larger elements.

 

Next we will explore molding Glass Clay. This will be both Freeze forming and projects that do not use freezing,  Both  will create excellent elements.

 

Elements made with clay will then be added to larger backings to create multidimensional  jewelry.

 

Students are expected to have an understanding of glass fusing basics as well as be able to cut and assemble glass.
