Light plays with the glass, changes the color of it and reflects it in many different ways within one single piece. Onlookers may see the glass object in a different way every time it is viewed. It is exciting and challenging to create a piece using this method. In this class we will focus mainly on landscape design. We will be developing set of techniques which produces painterly effects on the surface or within any particular glass body. Using different glass elements (glass powders, frits, stringers, enamels, and various unconventional tools) allows you to create shading, texture, and other design elements that become encapsulated within and on the surface of the piece. It is a celebration of the transparency, color and vibrancy that only glass as a medium can capture. We will be building a palette of techniques that allows a wide range of painterly effects through specific in-class exercises and small studies which can be applied to larger compositions.
