The details about the class are listed below. You can still receive the discounted class rate of only $600 if you sign up by April 15.

Transforming Float Glass: From Flat, Smooth, and Clear to Fluid, Organic, and Sculptural
Level: All Levels
The class will explore several methods of cutting and decorating 10mm float glass, using color, texture, and form. Artists with proficiency at painting can learn to adapt their skills to a variety of methods of painting on glass. Students will learn to create textured designs in the sand. They will experience the fun of discovering textures made from simple objects. The class will look at the design process and how to work with the material to express ideas. Learning to “think in glass” is the goal towards making design and construction flow with the material, not fight with it.
