Fused Glass Portrait Workshop!!


Need something to do during School Half Term.  In this one and half hour class, students will explore the self portrait.  With a brief introduction  to various forms of glass, we will then draw a 100 x 150mm self portrait on paper.  Next, students will translate their self portrait into glass using sheet glass, frit, stringers, and confetti on a base of sheet glass.  Pieces will be fired after the workshop and available for pick up a few days later.  The finished piece will have an embedded wire loop at the top for hanging.
