2025 - Creative Glass - Mon AM

Service Description

Exploring the creative practices that Sarah uses for her glass work you will learn to generate design ideas using a range of media and techniques. At the end of this course which runs over six sessions you will have created your own art glass panel along with a range of samples to keep. There is a maximum of 4 spaces on this course. Dates: Wk 1 (10am - 1pm) Artwork and glass panel design generation: working with a chosen theme start creating and constructing design ideas for the glass panel, using a range of paper based processes. You will need to have some idea of what subject you would like to work with ie natural forms, shells, architecture etc. it would be good if you can collect images (magazines, newspaper, photocopies from online, postcards etc) and bring them to the first session. If you know what you would like to work with if you email information to me, I can also look for artists and information on your behalf. Wk 1 (10am - 1pm) In this session we will be exploring your ideas using different drawing methods and collage to originate design ideas for your glass work. Wk 2 (10am - 1pm) Artwork generation: continue creating and constructing design ideas for the glass panel. Wk 3 (10am - 1pm) Transfer the sand blast design onto the glass panel and cut the vinyl. Wk 4 (10am - 1pm) Put a design onto a silk screen and silk screen enamels on to glass pieces. Create stencils for small glass pieces. Wk 5 (10am - 1pm) Work with colour glass resins onto the panel. Glass panel size: 500mm x 400mm x 8mm (Other sizes, fixings and holes in the glass for fixings can be made available if desired at an additional cost) Please bring a Pinny or an old shirt to wear as you will get ink / resin on your clothes. A sketchbook / notebook would be useful. NB: Dates towards the end of this course MAY need to change. Your work is sent off to be sandblasted and can be delayed. If this occurs we will rearrange session dates to suit all participants.
