On your 2nd class, you will learn how to “draw” with glass. You will make a mixture with glass powders to create an ink that you can use to create line drawings, portraits, landscapes, and anything else you can imagine. You will make a 6x6 flat line drawing piece during the second meeting. On your final class, you will combine the skills you have learned into a piece that we will slump into a final form of your choice. Bring your ideas and a sketch book. We hope that some of the pieces made during these workshops will be incorporated into an exhibit to be held at the Drawing Studio for the Glass Art Fiesta coming to Tucson in April 2011!!
