INTERMEDIATE WORKSHOP LEVEL:

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

This class is a bit of a "mind-bender." We will be creating a wave of trees in our very own forest, but we will have to think in terms of positive and negative spaces. We will actually be cutting out the openings to create the space where trees will show through the background, but not actually the trees themselves. 

The large wave mold can accommodate an 8 x 12 sheet of glass. Participants will need two different 8 x 12 sheets of glass. An opaque wispy can be nice on top, and a clear or transparent color for the trees in the background. Please look at the photos to get some ideas. This will require two firings, and if you use an 8 x 12 measurement, the cost will be $3.50 for each firing. (You may choose to work smaller, such as 6 x 12)
