Etching Dichroic Glass
Oct. 18 - 19. Etching Dichroic Glass, 9 am to 5 pm - $350* (Beg/Int) (Lmited to 10) * kit fee
Etching Dichroic Glass
Dichroic glass is exciting on its own, but combined with etching and other techniques you can create beautiful imagery on a small scale. Learn the basic etching technique in the creation of your own CBS large etched sampler (all 22 solid colors). S tudents will explore two techniques for etching glass: etching crèmes and an engraver with an engraving bit. Using stickers, mastic, tape, sharpie pens and more, we will create our designs and etch them. Etching is only the first step. Once you have your etched dichroic glass, learn how to fuse your small masterpieces into cabochons using a small kiln. No cutting necessary. We will also examine creation of and fusing of sepia waterslides over Dichroic. In all we will create twenty-five, one inch cabochons add that to your first day and we will do a total of thirty five, one inch cabochons of varying techniques.  |

Join Master Beveler Kent Lauer in this brand new one day class creating
beautiful faceted Dichroic glass pendants! This very hands on class will
cover all aspects of creating these pendants, from cutting 1/4" glass with a
diamond ringsaw, to laminating and beveling. A thin layer of Dichroic glass
will be laminated between two pieces of Starfire glass, then ground and
polished into an incredible jewel. No glass cutting experience required.
Class size is limited to six students to ensure individual attention, and
each student will have their own 12" flatlap grinder to work on . Students
will have the opportunity to make three or four pendants, of several
different shapes. A great introduction to coldworked glass techniques. |

Kent Lauer has been working with glass for more than 30 years. What started as a fascination with glass soon became a career.
Kent learned to bevel early on, and was determined to find out everything he could about pushing the limits of beveled glass. His work has since been seen worldwide, in important homes and historic buildings.
Living in Southern California has given Kent many chances to work on glass for films and commercials, not to mention celebrities. He has been teaching beveling at glass shows and privately for over 25 years. |

Molten Magic: There is something magical about a material that is very hard but, at the same time very fragile. Glass is such a material! We will transform it through heat, color and manipulation to create unique objects. The process involves all of the same equipment and tools used by offhand glassblowers but, on a much smaller scale. Day one will cover safety, studio setup, equipment. Each student will then assemble and kiln fuse a component to be used to create a paperweight on day two. This exercise helps to develop a sense of color, depth and light transmission. I will then demonstrate the making of a pinwheel paperweight followed by each student creating and making their own. Included will be design techniques such as inserting air bubbles and twists.
Day two starts off with a demonstration of making twisted cane. Each student will then select their own types and colors of glass for making their own cane. Next, we will be making a paperweight from the fused component made on the previous day. If time allows, I will also demonstrate how to make a glass flower. No previous experience required. |
| About Don McKinney |
| Don McKinney, like many other glass artists, began with stained glass about 30 years ago. In 1992, Don was introduced to hot glass and he was hooked for life. He has been teaching glass beadmaking and furnace paperweight classes for the past 12 years as well as designing and manufacturing tools such as “The Original” Toolbox Bead Annealer and the tabletop Studio Series Glory Hole.

This class is designed to help you gain confidence and control of liquid glass while incorporating color and design into your work of Art. The equipment used can be set up in a garage or backyard for a private glassblowing studio.
Both days will be action packed while you learn how to maximize time, equipment and materials for both fun and profit. Learn how to make Ornaments, small bowls, vases and tumblers (drinking glasses).

| About Scott Dyer |
| Scott has had a fascination with different types of glass for over 30 years. His background is in dental ceramics (glass) as a dental laboratory owner in Las Vegas , Nevada . Starting with flamework in the early 80's and experimenting with fusing in the late 90's. In 2002 he was introduced to Don McKinney and took his class in Molten Magic. After holding hotglass on the end of a rod and learning how to manipulate it into different shapes Scott's world changed. Within two weeks he had his own hotshop set up in his garage. Since that time he has melted over 20 tons of glass studying and practicing different skills and experimenting with designs. He has studied with a wide range of professional glassblowers seeking his own style or niche. Scott has taught beginning and advanced glassblowing for five years and has been featured on local and national television programs. |

Josh Mazet
Vortex Marble Anatomy 101 Beg./Int.
Sat. & Sun. Oct 18 - 19 Lampworking Marbles wtih Dichroic - $350* (Beg/Int.) *$20.00 kit fee
This lampwork marble class will be for the beginning flame workers to
intermediate students interested in learning more about the process of
making marbles. The first day will begin include several demos of basic
marbles along with an ongoing conversation with the instructor, that will
cover flame atmospheres, or flame chemistry, use of color, and the correct
application of dichroic glass to achieve some "Bling-Bling" in our marbles.
Through out the day there will also be an emphasis on the proper techniques
in the forming and shaping of marbles. All demos will be followed by time on
the torch for students to apply and reinforce the instruction.
On day two, we will take the previous days information and set our sights
on creating the popular and challenging "Vortex Marble". This focus will
breakdown the steps of making the marble, but more importantly the "why"
behind each step, and how it contributes to the optical illusion the
characterizes the vortex marble. All students will leave class with several
marbles they have made, and one of Josh's demo marbles. |
| About Josh Mazet |
Josh Mazet received a BFA in Ceramics from the University of Oregon
in 1999. After graduating he was invited into the Fine Arts Department as a
resident artist. For three years he held a studio at the U of O, instructing
25 students plus community members year round in the art and process of wood
fired ceramics.
It was during this time Josh was introduced to lampworking. With
his degree in ceramics behind him, Josh had a natural understanding and
comfort with flame atmospheres, kilns, and the chemistry involved with
glass. This compounded with the similarities of the materials, allowed for a
smooth and rapid learning of a new medium.
In 2003. along with brother Eli, they began Mazet Studios, since
then it has grown to include their youngest brother Tim and mother Tym Ann.
Their work with flameworked creatures, often focuses on sea life, while the
three brothers also produce a wide range of marbles, and jewelry easily
recognizable by their use of color and dichroic glass. Mazet Studios glass
can now be found in public and private collections, and fine galleries
through out the U.S.
In addition to this Josh regularly gives class, workshops and
demonstrations. |
