Cappy Thompson at CMOG (http://www.cmog.org/dynamic.aspx?id=8854) 2-7 February 2009.
"In this class, students will learn grisaille, or grey-tonal painting, a versatile method of painting on glass that involves several applications and firings of vitreous enamels. Students will look in-depth at the instructor’s work as well as that of other contemporary glass painters, and will paint on flat glass and vessel forms. Useful handouts, including firing schedules, will be provided. No experience is required."

Denise Stillwaggon Leone at CMOG (http://www.cmog.org/dynamic.aspx?id=8856) 9-14 February 2009.
"This course will focus on image making on glass. Students will create sandblast stencils (including photo-resists) and learn methods of stage-blasting, carving, and shading to gain a working knowledge of the development of light and shade in sandblasted images. Basic methods of vitreous painting on glass, including paint preparations, tracing and matting applications, and firing will be established. Students will combine the disciplines of sandblasting and painting in projects that explore the complexity of overlapping imagery. No glassworking experience is required. Denise Stillwaggon Leone studied at the School of the Museum of Fine Art, Boston. She designs and fabricates architectural art glass commissions, and is represented in institutions throughout the United States. She also creates internationally shown autonomous glass sculpture, published in New Glass Review and 25 Years of New Glass Review. She was an Artist-in-Residence at The Studio and her work is in the Museum’s collection"
