Other glass jewelry. Go beyond primitive dichroic pendants

Screen Printing and Computer Based Design
to Create Painted Masterpieces
This class will enable the glass artist to create wonderfully detailed small (and large) pieces for jewelry, or for elements in larger pieces (see examples below) . The backbone of this will be screen printing on small pieces. Screen Printing will be done in an inexpensive method, easily and safely accomplished in the home studio,
You will learn to make your own reusable screens and then use them as described below.
Screen printing will be used to:
1) Create color artwork for your piece
2) Create exciting backgrounds to enhance the foreground artwork.
3) Enhance your screen print work with micas.
4 Add spot artwork to already created pieces.
5 Add gold accents to pieces
Painting on pendants to enhance screen printed and decal pieces will be examined in more detail. Multilevel glass creations will be made, each giving a different element to the final piece. See the examples below for an indication of the diversity of techniques and end results possible.
Students are expected to have basic knowledge of cutting glass as well as a basic understanding of glass techniques.
