Sketching with Glass Powder
Service Description
Join us for this inspiring journey into the world of glass powder sketching, where creativity knows no bounds. Unleash your imagination and transform ordinary glass surfaces into extraordinary works of art! Using your sketches (or ones we provide) we will make beautiful art in this hands-on workshop. Sketches or clip art need to be simple, and you will need to bring several copies of each. Size for sketches should be roughly 5” x 7” and 4” x 4”. Designed for both beginners and seasoned artists, this class invites you to explore the unique qualities of glass powder as a versatile and captivating art medium. Gain an understanding of the properties, types, and characteristics of glass and glass powder. Familiarize yourself with the essential tools and materials used in glass powder sketching, including specialized brushes, stencils, and different types of glass surfaces. We will use lines and shading to create depth and dimension in your sketches. Understand the impact of different firing temperatures on the final appearance of your artwork. Learn about finishing techniques, such as polishing and framing, to complete your pieces with finesse. Students will make several different sized pieces, that will be ready for framing, after they have been fired in the kiln. Pieces will be fired and ready for pick up a few days after class. Class is suitable for all levels. Class cost is $80, with an additional materials fee of $25 to be paid at class.

They will be in the pickup box next to the studio door, outside. - Unclaimed work after 60 days will become property of the studio and may be donated or recycled unless arrangements are made with the studio. - Shipping is available for a fee. About Your Finished Piece - Glass is a living material and firing results vary. Colors may shift slightly, bubbles can form, and edges soften unpredictably in the kiln. These variations are part of the craft, not defects. We can't guarantee an exact match to samples or to your expectations, and finished work is not eligible for refunds or re-firing. In rare cases, a piece may crack or break during firing. If this happens, we'll contact you and to discuss options. Safety & Studio Conduct - Closed-toe shoes are required. No sandals or open shoes. - Avoid loose sleeves or hanging jewelry. - You'll be handling cut glass. Small nicks are possible even with care. - We require eye protection for most aspects of this studio, we provide clean safety glasses, or you may bring your own. - Follow all instructor directions. We reserve the right to ask anyone behaving unsafely, unkindly, or inappropriately (at the discretion of the studio instructor) to leave without a refund.
