Lampwork Class with Bronwen Heilman
" Reverse Painting on Glass - Glass Bead making"
(above photos show just a sampling of the beads will you make during this class)
Intermediate class. You must have experience on an oxy/propane torch to take this class
This is an intermediate class focusing on how to work with enamels and how to apply them. We will be focusing on applying wet enamel, capturing your own line-drawings on a flat surface then, after firing the enamels; we will apply the image to a bead.
Duration: 2 days
Day 1: We will be creating our own one-of-a-kind small glass paintings. We will learn how different brushes create different effects, and how to sign your name on your work.
Day 2: We will be lighting the torch and rolling up our sleeves, as well as our paintings, to create beautiful pieces of wearable art. There will be a lot of hands on practice in order to become comfortable with the amount of heat we need, and the new tools we will be using to make the images permanent on our bead.
