Title: Weekday Series: “Building Glass on a Form”
Description: This intermediate class is about learning how to build a 3d glass piece by building on a form. We will work through how to create strength in an open structure glass piece as well as discuss positive and negative space and how color and shape can be used to help move the eye through the glass artwork. This will open a door to a new expression in your glass art. Previous experience with copper foil is required.
