  Intermediate Level: This class REQUIRES both fusing and mosaic/grouting experience and supplies.

  Let’s create a landscape scene in miniature of fused glass on a framed mosaic shadow box.

You will turn in your tile for firing as we wait for the glue to dry 24 hours on the frame.

  On day 2 we tape off and grout the frame.

  On day 3 you will seal the grout lines on your piece. And, gather your fused embellishments to create your scene by gluing them onto the frame as we oooh and awwww your creations!  1/2 hr each side on day three; all three days in Frit Room.

  MONITOR EQUIPMENT TRAINING

  Great news! We are now providing new ways to help you train or retrain yourselves more easily and quickly on the ring saws and the grinders.

  As monitors we need to be consistent with our knowledge of the correct way to use and clean our grinders and ring saws, along with the Beetle Bits.

  We have two ways you can be retrained.

  • In Studio hands-on training
  • Our website – videos under the “Equipment Training”

  Following either type of training you will need to complete a 12-point questionnaire, via the website. We are asking you to complete this training by May 1.

  If you choose to take the In-Studio Class, here are the open sessions. Class sizes will be limited to 15.

  These dates will be listed on the Glass Arts calendar, as "Monitor Equipment Training". Please sign up for one of the openings when you get your notification that the classes are available. These will come via email just like any other class.

  The videos are short and fun and are a great tool to gain your certification. Whether you choose the in-studio or video trainings, it's up to your own comfort level.

  All members are being asked to complete this same retraining/certification by June 15 of this year and every year after. We are hoping to have all monitors retrained prior to the rest of the membership this year.

  Help us keep our machines running smoothly and efficiently, to ensure our art continues to look it’s best!

  Registration begins 03/18.

  Beginners: 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 (> 2 layers of glass), sign up for this training and BRING YOUR PROJECT with you to the training. No samples will be available.

  Intermediate/Advanced: 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.

  Workshop location: Ramada

  Time Slot scheduling: Please schedule yourself in one of the 15-minute sessions.

  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.

  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.

  Please bring a magic marker for measuring and Vaseline to cover the lines before cutting.

  This equipment training does not count toward the one-workshop-per-month.

  USING THE LAP GRINDER - Intermediate Level:

  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 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.

  Please bring 1-3 fired projects to work on.

  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. Wear safety glasses, of course. You will not need any other tools or supplies.

  Should you have any question, contact the instructor: Jayne Becker @ (209) 890-5774.

  INTERMEDIATE/ADVANCED WORKSHOP

  Create an elegant or whimsical tree from clear or colored transparent glass and mount it on a mesquite block for a one-of-a-kind statement.  This is a 3 DAY CLASS for intermediate and advanced artists with some skill on the ring saw.

  

  DAY 1: You will use your photo or tree design that is no larger than 7x9 inches to draw on a sheet of clear, COE96 glass.  You will cut the trunk and main branches with the ring saw and construct your tree on a 9x12 inch tile.  (1st firing)  Then you will use your clear scrap glass (or your transparent colored glass) to make medium-large frit using the thermal shock method.  You will also choose your mesquite base to take home to sand and lacquer.  Spray lacquer is easiest to use.  Make sure your base is dried and ready to bring back on Day 3.

  
  

  DAY 2: You will apply your frit to the tree and construct "leaf litter'' for the ground surrounding your tree.  (2nd firing)

  
  

  DAY 3: Bring your prepared mesquite base.  You will use a Dremel tool to make a small groove in the mesquite base for your tree trunk.  Then you will assemble and epoxy your tree and leaf litter in place.

   

  Specific supplies needed for this class:

  Photo or tree design (no larger than 7x9 inches)

  12x12 inch sheet of COE96 clear glass

  (Optional) additional transparent colored glass for frit leaves

  (2) 9x12" Papyros paper (available at store, purchase prior to class)
