OCTOBER 2013 Glass Class Schedule
Hot Glass Torch Work
Eli Mazet Make Infinity & Vortex Marbles using flame-working techniques
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.
Throughout 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.
Using Dichroic Images on the Torch!
This is new intermediate/advanced class for people who have the minimum experience of taking a class with Josh previously. In this class we will focus on using dichroic images to add new details and imagery to or lamp work. Students will make a pendant, a marble and a small sculpted turtle all utilizing CBS polychromatic images! Bring your favorite lamp working tools and questions.
