Class Description:

Beyond straightforward etching, this is a workshop on glue chipping glass and creating expressive textural sandblasted etchings for 2D and 3D work including architectural artwork, windows, doors, signs and awards for reflected and transmitted light. See how an old 1800’s glass chipping technique can be used in a voice of your own. Work with a variety of glass and sandblasting resists for a variety of effects. Take this opportunity to add texture and dimension to your existing work. You will make test samples to reference for future work.

Leave with the confidence to etch and glue chip on your own.

 

Students must bring:

Exact knife (I will provide blades)
Safety goggles
Mask (for odor and dusts)
Mechanical/sharp pencil
If you have favorite rubber tools, stiff brushes or other marking  tools are welcome. I’ll have some on hand to share.
