Wildlife Art in Glass Workshop
A&A Products, 1075 Marrou Rd., Sequin, Texas. June 3/4 and evening of June 6, 2017. Contact Matt Grones at (830) 303 8020 for details.
In the workshop we will be doing two artist studies of wildlife. Students will need to bring pictures/photographs of wildlife they would like to do. The photographs can also be of domestic pets, landscapes, flowers or people. Detailed pictures of the eyes, nose, ears or mouth of the photo you are going to do is helpful.
The first project will be a 6″x6″ and the second up to a 9″x18″ rectangle. As time permits we possibly will do detail squares or color studies. The process is the micro mosaic kiln formed glass technique. This class is designed for people that have some previous glass cutting and fusing experience or by consent of the instructor. The workshop is 2 days and one evening session.
A pre workshop letter is sent out that gives more details and lists what tools and other materials will be needed.
