Thin Skins:

Techniques for Mica, Enamel & Iridized Glass

The dense color of enamels and metallic shine of micas and iridization all exist as the thinnest of layers on the glass surface - and that's the magic.

This class will teach you a variety of ways of applying enamels and micas - including frisket sifting, air brushing and more. Then you will learn to a variety of sandblasting methods - including photosensitive resist - to selectively remove the material (as well as iridization) for some real palette-expanding techniques!

Students will take home a selection of sample tiles to uses as reference pieces for future work and a small finished bowl.
