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.
