Learn the fundamental techniques required for fused glass art. Glass compatibility, firing schedules, cold work, and volume control will be covered. Working from drawings or from your imagination, you'll create ideas by cutting designs out of fusible compatible sheet glass that will then be fused into a single piece of artwork.
In addition, students will be taught the basic operation of kilns. Students will experience a kiln firing while working on their projects. Proper use of grinders, saws, and other tools necessary for the production and finishing of fused glass will be discussed.
Students will create up to 2 ea 5" x 5" squares, double layer fuse for this class, and your choice of free form work such as pendants, key chains, and small sample tiles.

Vitreous glass painting on glass. Glass painting is the application of Stainers Colors, silver stains and enamels made of metal oxides and ground glass pigment mixed with different media applied and fired onto glass to illustrate images and design. Glass painting adds wonderful dimension to leaded and copper foiled works in glass.
During this session you will see slides of different applications for glass painting and watch a demonstration of mixing paints and painting on glass. We will discuss the painting process and view examples of the multilayering process. We will discuss equipment, tools, paints, types of glass used, brushes, and kilns used in this age-old art. Participants will have hands on experience with the glass paint mixing and applications. We will learn about firing the glass and will fire your experiments.

PHOTO EMULSION SILKSCREEN $285 for 2 days or $350 for 3 days--no kit
with Vitreous Glass Paint
2 or 3 Day Class 8 students max Fri. February 26th - Sun. February 28th, 2010 10:00 am - 4:30 pm Imagine your photographic or high contrast images adhered to glass using
two time-tested techniques; Photo silkscreen and vitreous glass paints. Students learn to manipulate the image they wish to print with the computer
so that it is appropriate for printing onto glass. Images should be high
contrast. We will discuss and practice the techniques involved and how to
coat the silkscreen with a photosensitive emulsion. We will print images
onto transparencies, before curing (or burning) onto the screen. After
exposing the photosensitive emulsion to UV light, the screens are rinsed
and dried, and the images are silk screened onto glass with vitreous glass
paints. The final stage is a kiln fire to permanently affix the paint. We
will work with sizes 8" x 8" or smaller. As many smaller positives may be
exposed as will fit the screen--for example, 5"x7", 6"x4", etc. If you would like to work on your project after the class, the studio will
be open from 7:00-10:00p.m. This will be offered Friday and Saturday night
only. Many restaurants are within walking distance of the studio. Lunch will be
from 12:30 - 1:30 p.m, otherwise lunch can be provided for $7.00 per day,
which allows extra studio time. Please let us know if you have any dietary
concerns. Your full payment secures your place in the class, first come first served. With registration more information will be provided. If you are from out of the area, Astoria is the oldest US settlement west
of the Rocky Mountains. It is situated at the mouth of the Columbia River

ADVANCED VITREOUS GLASS PAINTING $380 + $150 kit 4 Day Class 6 students max June 21st through 25th, 2008 Thu-Mon GAEA Available Basic glass painting kit, mandatory. Cost: $150 1st night 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm All other days 10:00 am through 4 pm We will discuss design ideas and content of class. Please bring a drawing of the design you will paint. It will need to be the size of glass, 9" x 9"square. This class is to help you create the design of your choice. You will learn the process of tracing, matting for contour, and shading in this weekend's session. We will discuss the line considerations for tracing your design onto the glass on the first day. Each day you will fire your work. Types of kilns and how to use the kiln for firing glass paints will be discussed, and you will use a digital controller for kiln firing. On the 3rd and 4th days we will add color to the designs. We will only have enough time to add 2-3 colors to the piece of work in the remaining 2 days, so design for this concept. As glass painting is a multi layering process and labor intensive you may not finish your piece in this five day period. What you will learn from this class will allow you to finish on your own. We will learn firing schedule, equipment and tools and types of glass best used for glass painting. Glass and paint will be supplied for the class. Kit includes: Prerequisite: Introduction to Vitreous Glass Painting Please call Lost Art Originals Studio to register: (509) 244-2260 There is a Hampton Inn, Hilton Garden Springs, Ramada, Holiday Inn, Microtel, Stratford Suites, and other hotels and motels within a 20 minute drive of the studio which are all close to the Spokane International Airport (GEG).
