NEW MEMBERS ONLY WORKSHOP:
(You are considered a new member for 6 months after joining the club.)
In this workshop you will be designing a “carnival” plate (see picture).
You can choose the size you want to make - either a 6”x6” or a 12”x6”. (One of the pictures is 12”x6”. The other shown is round, but gives you another design idea.) You will be firing your project twice. If making a 6”x6” plate, the total cost will be $3.00. If you decide to make a 12”x6” platter, the total cost will be $6.00. Please bring the correct change.
You must also bring the following supplies to this workshop:
* either a 6”x6” sheet OR a 12”x6” sheet of opaque COE 96 glass that will act as your background base color on which to build the “carnival squares” (your choice of color)
* opaque scrap colors to use to make the “carnival squares”
The instructors will also bring a variety of scrap colors of opaque glass to use for those who need them. The squares are usually two to three colors high - the bottom layer of squares are about 1”, the 2nd layer about 1/2”, and if you add a 3rd layer - about 1/4”. Think ahead about what base color you’ll use and what combination of colors you want for your “carnival squares”. Feel free to precut your background base color and your squares in advance.
IMPORTANT - If you need to order glass for this, please have your order in to SW Art Glass by 5:30 Friday, January 30th. You can also buy glass at Tucson Stained Glass on Grant Ave. in Tucson. Any questions or problems - call Judy at 763-516-1769.
