&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.gvrglassartists.com/resources/Pictures/Workshop-Proposal-Photos/Mosaic%20on%20Mesh%20Cactus.jpeg" alt="" title="" border="3" width="316" height="421" style="border-color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#9E0B0F"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;$10 due to instructor for club supplies (glass)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Students will create a glass design on mosaic mesh to be used later in a project of the student's choice (flowerpots, roof tiles, etc.) . This is a technique class to learn an "indirect method" of creating glass mosaic designs on mesh. We will be using ONLY mesh as a base to design on. We will NOT be grouting the design in this class. A selection of designs will be provided and a list shared with students in advance of the class.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;General supplies to bring to class:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Glues: Weldbond only--no Elmer's&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Writing Tools: Black Sharpie (regular), Pen &amp;amp; Pencil&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Other helpful items: Tweezers, Toothpicks, A carrying box for project&lt;/li&gt;

      <title>CL Watercolor Effect on Papyros, Friday, 7/31, 10-1 (07/31/2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ALL LEVEL WORKSHOP:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;Beginner:&amp;nbsp; Learning how to cut basic shapes and follow a line; familiar with basic tools and supplies. Fusers understand full, contour, tack, slump firing programs.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.gvrglassartists.com/resources/Pictures/Workshop-Proposal-Photos/papyros%20watercolor%20(2).JPG" alt="" title="" border="0" width="212" height="252"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;You will need:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;Two pieces of 6" x 4" COE 96 clear glass (you can use one opaque piece for the back if you prefer)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;A 5 1/2" x 3 1/2" piece of Papyros paper (Papyros is available for purchase at the Club Store)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;Glassline paints in yo&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;ur chosen colors (Instructors will share their colors for a fee of $2, but if there are particular colors you want, please bring them)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;Stencil that fits on Papyros - no bigger than 5" x 3" (Instructors will have some to share)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;small plastic container for water&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;3 plastic lids large enough for a paint palette (sour cream lids work well)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;1" wide soft paintbrush (does not need to be expensive)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;3+ sponge pouncers/daubers&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;small round paintbrush or toothpick for touchups&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;painter's tape&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;hair dryer&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;Writing tools: black and silver Sharpies (fine and regular), pen, pencil&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;Other helpful items: tweezers, toothpicks, a carrying box for projects&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;Firing ticket(s)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;Important Information&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;You MUST use Papyros paper for this project; thin fire will not hold up to the watercolor painting.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;You MUST use Glassline paint; other types will not work.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;The Papyros MUST be cut 1/4" - 3/8" smaller than your pieces of glass. The glass needs to seal to itself, and that won't happen if the paper interferes.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;You MUST use shims between your layers of glass. Shims are pieces of clear, fine frit (not round in shape) that allow the paper's gases to escape before the layers of glass melt, fusing together. If the gas can't escape, the paper will burn and cause a giant crater in the center - hence, a ruined project and upset kiln operators.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;General supplies to bring to class:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Whether you are a new member or a member who is a bit rusty and needs a refresher course, please join us for this training to learn all about the ring saw. We will discuss the various blades that are available and when and how to use them.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You will learn to cut intricate patterns in glass for your art projects. We will discuss the difference between our various blades; regular, slim, diachroic, mega, and speed blades, as well as when and how to use them.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;(They may not all be in operation at the time of your training, but we will discuss and answer questions about the various ones.)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This training will also include step-by-step instruction on how to clean the machines after you have used them.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You may bring a project to practice your cutting. We will provide scrap glass and patterns for you to practice on.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#9E0B0F" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;This equipment training does not count toward the one-workshop-per-month.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>FR Volunteers to Sort SWAG Order First Friday @ 11:00 -2:00 pm (08/07/2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;This is the Volunteer Signup to sort SWAG orders for this month - First Friday of the month.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;This is only being sent to the group of people who have expressed interest in assisting.&amp;nbsp; We are limiting signups to avoid having too many people resulting in a backup in the process.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The start time is fluid, we get a text from SWAG when they are about 20-30 minutes away.&amp;nbsp; Expect that time to be somewhere between 11 and 2.&amp;nbsp; We aim to be completed with the sorting of the order by 3pm when the studio closes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thanks in advance for your help.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#ED1C24"&gt;WORKSHOP LEVELS&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#9E0B0F"&gt;Beginners:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; First time users! Learn how to safely cut thicker pieces of glass art such as “Pattern Bars” and “Scrap Boxes” (If you don’t know what these are, please ask a fellow member to let you take a look). Once you have created a pattern bar, scrap box, or other FUSED project that is thicker than 6mm (&amp;gt; 2 layers of glass), sign up for this training and BRING YOUR PROJECT with you to the training. No samples will be available.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#9E0B0F"&gt;ntermediate/Advanced:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; If you have attended this training before and you have created more items that need cutting, please feel free to sign up for a time slot.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Workshop location: Ramada&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#9E0B0F"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Time Slot scheduling: Please schedule yourself in one of the 15-minute sessions.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Learn to cut pattern bars (7 layers thick, fused glass bar) or scrap boxes (1/2” fused glass bar). **PLEASE DO NOT BRING UNFUSED SINGLE SHEETS OF GLASS OR FUSED GLASS THAT IS ONLY 2 LAYERS THICK.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This class is considered both an “equipment training” class and an “equipment access” opportunity. Beginners will learn how to safely use the tile saw, discuss basic set up and clean up as well as what material is appropriate for its use.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Please bring a magic marker for measuring and Vaseline to cover the lines before cutting.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#9E0B0F" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;This equipment training does not count toward the one-workshop-per-month.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;This workshop is offered to new members only. You are considered a new member for 6 months after joining.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Join us in this workshop to learn how to design and slump a soap dish/sponge dish. This dish will measure 6"x4" and will have a clear glass base and a top sheet of 6"x4" glass that can be opaque or transparent. You will have a chance to use embellishments (scrap glass, dots, stringers, etc.) to create a design on your dish. The instructors will have some embellishment materials for those who need them. There will be two firings - the initial firing, and the 2nd firing using a slump mold. Please bring $2.00 ($1.00 each) to pay for these two firings.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>CR Lap Grinder Training, Monday 08/17 @ 9:30 - 11:00 am (08/17/2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#ED1C24"&gt;INTERMEDIATE LEVEL&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Does your fired project have a wonky edge? Does your bowl wobble? Our lap grinder can help you. It uses ever finer grits to make your project smoother and more finished. In this training workshop, you will learn safety tips; how to set up the lap grinder; how to change wheels and clean them; and how to clean up the grinder at the end.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Please bring 1-3 fired projects to work on.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The lap grinder can be messy, especially the first time. Wear old clothes or an apron; and old closed toe shoes. I recommend you remove your rings, bracelets or watches; and tie back long hair.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#9E0B0F"&gt;&lt;em&gt;This equipment training does not count toward the one-workshop-per-month.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Please contact Jayne Becker @&amp;nbsp;209-890-5774 with any questions.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#ED1C24"&gt;Workshop Level: Intermediate:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Able to design and create simple projects with minimal guidance; trained on all studio equipment.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In this class we will make an Iris flower design and attach it to a heart shaped wire form with an attached crystal.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.gvrglassartists.com/resources/Pictures/Workshop-Proposal-Photos/Iris%20Heart.jpg" alt="" title="" border="3" width="283" height="307" style="border-color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The instructor will collect $2 for the ring and $1 for the crystal on the day of the class. The pattern will be provided.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;General supplies to bring to class:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Glass cutting tools: Toyo Cutter, Running Pliers, Grozers, mat and push pins for the pattern.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;For the pattern two shades of glass are used for the iris plus a small amount of accent color. You will also need green for the leaves. The amount of glass needed is minimal. A good time to use scraps.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Writing Tools: Black Sharpies (fine and regular), Pen &amp;amp; Pencil&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Other helpful items: A carrying box for projects, 60/40 solder, gel flux and brush, black patina and brush, wax.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Intermediate:&amp;nbsp; Able to design and create simple projects with minimal guidance; trained on all studio equipment.&amp;nbsp; Fusers are learning about special firing programs.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Join us in the classroom to make a colorful 6” pinwheel (using two colors) that can be used as a sun catcher.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;This project is constructed by creating two layers of curved “swoop” shapes. The “swoops” will be cut from 3” wide strips of colored glass. Each layer uses approximately 13 “swoops”. The instructors will have swivel hangers available to buy for $1.25.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;I really like the look of using all transparent, but you can use both transparent and/or opalescent.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;You need to bring these materials for this workshop&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; * a thin black Sharpie&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>FR Volunteers to Sort SWAG Order First Friday @ 11:00 -2:00 pm (09/04/2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;This is the Volunteer Signup to sort SWAG orders for this month - First Friday of the month.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;This is only being sent to the group of people who have expressed interest in assisting.&amp;nbsp; We are limiting signups to avoid having too many people resulting in a backup in the process.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The start time is fluid, we get a text from SWAG when they are about 20-30 minutes away.&amp;nbsp; Expect that time to be somewhere between 11 and 2.&amp;nbsp; We aim to be completed with the sorting of the order by 3pm when the studio closes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thanks in advance for your help.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>FR Volunteers to Sort SWAG Order First Friday @ 11:00 -2:00 pm (10/02/2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;This is the Volunteer Signup to sort SWAG orders for this month - First Friday of the month.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;This is only being sent to the group of people who have expressed interest in assisting.&amp;nbsp; We are limiting signups to avoid having too many people resulting in a backup in the process.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The start time is fluid, we get a text from SWAG when they are about 20-30 minutes away.&amp;nbsp; Expect that time to be somewhere between 11 and 2.&amp;nbsp; We aim to be completed with the sorting of the order by 3pm when the studio closes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thanks in advance for your help.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>FR Volunteers to Sort SWAG Order First Friday @ 11:00 -2:00 pm (11/06/2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;This is the Volunteer Signup to sort SWAG orders for this month - First Friday of the month.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;This is only being sent to the group of people who have expressed interest in assisting.&amp;nbsp; We are limiting signups to avoid having too many people resulting in a backup in the process.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The start time is fluid, we get a text from SWAG when they are about 20-30 minutes away.&amp;nbsp; Expect that time to be somewhere between 11 and 2.&amp;nbsp; We aim to be completed with the sorting of the order by 3pm when the studio closes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thanks in advance for your help.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>FR Volunteers to Sort SWAG Order First Friday @ 11:00 -2:00 pm (12/04/2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;This is the Volunteer Signup to sort SWAG orders for this month - First Friday of the month.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;This is only being sent to the group of people who have expressed interest in assisting.&amp;nbsp; We are limiting signups to avoid having too many people resulting in a backup in the process.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The start time is fluid, we get a text from SWAG when they are about 20-30 minutes away.&amp;nbsp; Expect that time to be somewhere between 11 and 2.&amp;nbsp; We aim to be completed with the sorting of the order by 3pm when the studio closes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thanks in advance for your help.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
