Level: Intermediate/Advanced
Prerequisites: The ability to score/cut glass in a straight line with a simple glass cutter and straightedge
In this intense hands-on course I spill all the beans on my signature “extreme sport” versions of glass-on-glass mosaic:
Flat Stacking, in which stained glass is built up in multiple layers over mirror to create a luminous diffusion of light and a 3-D foreground/background effect; and Edge Stacking, in which stained glass strips of varying heights/lengths are stacked on edge either singly or in series so that the wavy and often beautifully striated riven edge is the visual focus.
During this 2-day course students will incorporates these techniques in a small mosaic panel, and will learn how to cut and set unglazed porcelain as a contrast to the glass in a dedicated 4-hr session. I’ll also cover designing for these techniques, mixing these techniques with other media, and appropriate adhesives, tools, and applications. All materials will be provided, but if they wish students are welcome to supplement provided glass with glass from their own inventory.
