INTERMEDIATE LEVEL WORKSHOP:

Intermediate:  Able to design and create simple projects with minimal guidance; trained on all studio equipment.  Fusers are learning about special firing programs.

Let's make small flowers, leaves, animals and other fun shapes. This will be a two-segment workshop ON THE SAME DAY.

We will be using opal powdered frit mixed with water in silicone molds, which will then be frozen. Firing tickets will be completed at this time and tiles will be prepped for use in the afternoon session. We will take a break until 1:30 PM and return to remove the items from the molds which will then be placed on a 6 x 6 tile prepared with papyrus kiln paper. The tiles will go immediately into the kiln to be fired.

Items needed for this workshop:

• A P-100 Mask. No exceptions.
• Your favorite colors of opal powdered frit (can be ordered from Southwest Art Glass). If needed, order your Opal powdered frit early so that it can be delivered in the February delivery to the Glass Arts Club. Please order only Opal powdered frit. Transparent frit doesn't always work as well.
