Further Studies in Powder (Pushing the Limits!)
Prerequisite: 5-day LGS workshop on Studies in Powder (Colour, Components, and Crackle!)
Workshop Outline
This five-day workshop explores new and advanced techniques for
achieving textures with glass powders. Participants will learn how to
enhance the basic crackle process by adding subtle veining, replacement
textures, blending powders, and sandblasting for colour control. Two
completely new textural styles, pebbles and controlled orientation, offer
participants creative design opportunities. New wafer styles expand
the range of these versatile components. By the end of this
workshop, participants will have the skills to express their vision and
voice using powders.
