from the Pittsburgh Glass Center March Newsletter:
We're offering a few new 2-hour workshops that you must check out.
Iridized on Iridized - Work with sparkly glass that shimmers and changes colors like a hologram to make decorative tiles. March 8, 14, 29 or May 3.
FYI - Iridized glass art and jewelry was the hottest thing at the Philadephia Buyers Mart last weekend!
Kilnformed Mosaic - Similar to stained glass without the foiling or soldering. Use flat glass and frit to create a mosaic tile. This is a great class for those who have tried fused glass tiles or stained glass. March 1, 14, 22 or May 19.
4-week classes are new this year too! This is a perfect way to progress from a workshop to more indepth techniques. We have 4-week versions of some of our favorite classes like Beginning Hot Glass, or Intro to Borosilicate or Moretti, plus we have new and exciting options like Coldworking, Crackle, Bits Galore and Pate de Verre among many others.
The Photographic Imagery on Glass class is already full on Sundays, but we added another session on Thursdays from 6:30 -9:30.
4-week classes begin April 7, but we suggest that you sign up today! Call Sam at 412-365-2145 ext. 208 or go online.
Get details and sign up online today!
