Judith often teaches A Sense of Place when she teaches in Europe.  Over the past few years the students have put their own unique stamp on the projects.  Their influences as well as that of the local environs are the inspiration for this new class at Vitrum Studio. 

This three-day workshop will consist of a multi-faceted approach to kilnforming that is well-suited to combining hard lines of architectural images with the soft flowing lines of the organic, natural world. You’ll design and construct two projects while experimenting with the technical aspects of designing with both sheet glass and glass frit in a single composition.  This technique can be both rewarding and challenging,   During the course you will be shown a variety of methods for creating imagery in glass and you will complete two pieces - one based perhaps on a neighbor’s view of an English cottage and garden, and one based on a closer view of a window, gate or doorway enhanced by the abundance of summer annuals and perennials.

We will be using the full range of the Bullseye palette – frits, powders, stringers and sheet glass - to achieve the desired imagery.

Returning students are welcome to attend and work on their own landscape designs. If you’ve enjoyed taking Sense of Place, then you’ll love this class.

Intermediate level.
