Description
The Meredith Fine Craft Gallery invites you to learn to make your own Dichroic Glass Pendants at the Meredith Fine Craft Gallery during this 2-Day Class with League-juried artist, Lynn Haust, on Saturday, August 17th from 10:30 AM to 12:30 PM and Sunday, August 18th ¬from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Come and find out why melting glass is so fun and addictive in this fast paced class that will give you a chance to explore kiln fired glass and many of the techniques that make melting glass so exciting! In this 2-day class, you will be using Bullseye glass to create several glass pendants. Day 1: Students will be using clear and black dichroic glass as a base and then layering colored dichroic glass over to create sparkle and depth. We will cut and assemble 2 pieces of glass that will be full fused into large squares. Day 2: In the second class, students will cut and shape your full fused glass into pendants, using a variety of cold working techniques. You will gain cold working experience by using different equipment to achieve the desired pendant shapes. The cold working equipment includes: Grinder, flat lap grinder, glass band saw and drill press. Before firing a second time to fire polish your work, we will add fine silver to create a way to hang your pendant. Your pendants will be fired and annealed off-site and you will be notified when they are available for pick up within a few days after the class. Tuition is $120.00 per student and includes all glass materials and several silver chains. Beginners and advanced students, age 12 and up, are welcome to participate. Space is limited and pre-registration is required.
