  INTERMEDIATE LEVEL

  Does your fired project have a wonky edge? Does your bowl wobble? Our lap grinder can help you. It uses ever finer grits to make your project smoother and more finished. In this training workshop, you will learn safety tips; how to set up the lap grinder; how to change wheels and clean them; and how to clean up the grinder at the end.

  Please bring 1-3 fired projects to work on.

  The lap grinder can be messy, especially the first time. Wear old clothes or an apron; and old closed toe shoes. I recommend you remove your rings, bracelets or watches; and tie back long hair.

  This equipment training does not count toward the one-workshop-per-month.

   INTERMEDIATE & ADVANCED Workshop:
  

  Intermediate:  Able to design and create simple projects with minimal guidance; trained on all studio equipment.  Fusers are learning about special firing programs.

  Join us in the classroom to make a colorful 6” pinwheel (using two colors) that can be used as a sun catcher.

  
  

    
  

  
  

  This project is constructed by creating two layers of curved “swoop” shapes. The “swoops” will be cut from 3” wide strips of colored glass. Each layer uses approximately 13 “swoops”. The instructors will have swivel hangers available to buy for $1.25. 

  I really like the look of using all transparent, but you can use both transparent and/or opalescent. 

  You need to bring these materials for this workshop

      * one 12”x3” strip & one 12”x6” strip of each color (transparent works best, but try to remember that the colors will overlap, so you want to have two colors that when overlapping will create a nice 3rd color)

      * a thin black Sharpie

      * a 12”x9” tile

      * papyros cut to 8”x8”

  General supplies to bring to class: 

  * Glass cutting tools: Toyo Cutter, Running Pliers, Grozers, Nippers, Cutting Surface (Quilt-type mats work best)

  * Glues: Elmer’s (clear or white), Needle nosed bottle with non-aerosol hairspray

  * Writing Tools: Black Sharpies (fine and regular), Pen & Pencil

  * Other helpful items:Tweezers, Toothpicks, A carrying box for projects

  * Safety Items: P-100 Mask, Safety glasses, Closed-toe shoes, Band-aids

  * Bring a firing ticket - firing cost will be $3.50 - contour fuse.

  This is the Volunteer Signup to sort SWAG orders for this month - First Friday of the month (The exceptions are July and January deliveries on second Friday).   This is only being sent to the group of people who have expressed interest in assisting.  We are limiting signups to avoid having too many people resulting in a backup in the process.  

  The start time is fluid, we get a text from SWAG when they are about 20-30 minutes away.  Expect that time to be somewhere between 10:30 and 1.  We aim to be completed with the sorting of the order by 3pm when the studio closes.

  Thanks in advance for your help.
