Wildlife in Glass Phase 2
Kathleen's Mountain Studio in Montana
May 9 to 13 and half day May 14th.
Contact Kathleen via this web site for additional information.
This workshop is for students who have previously taken the beginning Wildlife Art in Glass. (or have consent of the instructor) The first project will take multiple pre-fused pieces (2 to 4 depending on complexity) mixed with frit, and incorporate parts into one finished project. Students need to come prepared the first day with photographs ready to start this project. The next study will be to do multiple layers with multiple firings to increase depth on existing pieces. We will do color mix studies and as time permits detailed studies of specific areas of a face (wildlife or human) and/or floral/landscape. This is an intensive 5 day workshop. A letter to the students will be sent out pre workshop that lists tools and other materials that will be needed.
Limit 8 students. Students are to bring a sack lunch each day. Bottled water, soft drinks, coffee and tea will be provided. The home, studio and all property are a smoke free environment. Only closed toed shoes are to be worn in the studio. Students will be asked to sign a waiver prior to participating in the workshop. Deposit required with registration and final payment for workshop due 2 weeks prior to workshop starting. A Pre-Workshop Letter will be sent to each student after registration to expand on what they need to bring.

What are Kathleen's Favorite Things ? Wildlife images fused into fine art! Explore the Great Smoky National Park and return to studio to transform images into glass studies. Workshop combines the gathering of data in the field with sketch books and camera, then back to the studio and library computers for additional research on subjects. Color, light, shadow, landscape.... all areas explored to create vitreous painting studies in glass. When possible, the class will be joined by biologists, naturalists or other knowledgeable personnel to provide information about the area and the flora and fauna you can expect to see. One does not have to be able to draw to take this workshop. Just use your eyes. Beyond bringing regular glass tools suggestions are camera, small day pack, binoculars, sketch pad, pencils or other art medium for field, small notebook for field notes, sun screen, bug repellent and a hat. Adventure is a foot!
Due to the field work in this special workshop students have the option to come in for a pre session field trip to the park. An initial trip to the Museum at the visitor's center and reconnaissance to orient ourselves for the full week that is to follow. This will be on Sunday afternoon, June 26, 2011.
