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 advanced techniques for achieving subtle
textural and colour variations with glass powders. The techniques include
veining, subtle shading, replacement colours, working with light and dark colours,
sandblasting for colour control, and preferred orientation in textures. New wafer
techniques and a new crackle texture will also be introduced. Participants will
work from sketches and develop skills to plan and create predictable finished
pieces. Participants will also investigate ways to express their vision and voice
using powders.
