NEW TUITION COST FOR THE FELT CLASS!
Intro to Borosilicate Beadmaking
Friday, January 9, 2009
9:00 AM – 4:00 PM
In this one day workshop we will explore and celebrate the unpredictability of borosilicate glass. Through the use of layering and fuel ratio we will discover some of the limitless possibilities in using this fine material. Emphasis on the nuances of reading heat, viscosity & workability will be covered.
We’ll be working through a package of some of the reducing rods to get a feel for what happens when we alter the fuel environment to familiarize students with the wonderful properties of this glass, using this knowledge to create a working palette. Included will be stringer use, frits and press molds. We’ll be using Minor Burners to make our “cool” Boro beads– Call ahead if you want to bring your own torch.
A great selection of Northstar clear & colored rod (approximately a pound) is included in your class fee and will be yours to take home after class.
Torch, tools, all supplies and a delicious lunch is also included. If you wish to bring your favorite tools, please label them.
$225 per student
Bring your own "Didymiums"!

Felt as a Sculptural Vehicle
Sunday, January 11, 2009
9:00 AM – 4:00 PM
This “Felt as a Sculptural Vehicle” class will expose you to a whole new
world! Wool fleece can be molded, rolled, prodded and pressed into ANY shape
you need or want to express an idea, build a house or simply to adorn your
body. We will go through the many different ways that you can manipulate
this most versatile material as a means to an end, using both wet and dry
felting techniques.
We will roll it, make vessels over an armature, make flat felt and needle
felt. This class focuses on several techniques that you can use in your future felt creations rather than completing a project in class. Many examples will be shown.
