This two day class is designed to allow students to experiment with a variety of brushes and paints to create mark making on clear float glass. Working with Reusche tracing blacks, bistre browns, and yellow silver stain, to create a variety of images on glass, students will have the opportunity to paint their own glass pieces using either supplied images or creating their own.
Students will leave the class with a stained glass piece approximately 140mm x 200mm.
No previous experience in glass art is required.
