Powderology: Exploring Glass Powders, Surface Design for Glass
Explore the possibilities of personal expression with this underused form of glass in a hands on, fun, experimental atmosphere. Working with small components, students practice a variety of techniques unique to glass powders, including color blending & shading for ‘painting’, sgrafitto, combing & feathering, line work, resists, templates, faux sandblasting, and how to pull out oversifted powder. We can work with Glass Glow™, and mica, as well as dichroic and irid glass, learning how they interact with and relate to glass powders. Students will also discover how to ‘correct’ a problem, after it’s been fired. Design & color issues will be discussed and practiced. Students will take home a set of samples to remember the techniques allowing them to easily replicate this work in their own studio.
Linda Steider is a studio artist working primarily with kilnformed glass. After twenty years of textiles and pastels, Steider transitioned to glass in 1997. Her broad range of experience and skills brings a rare perspective to the world of glass. Steider’s award winning work (both in fiber and glass) has been shown nationally and internationally. Her pieces are included in private collections across North America, Europe, and Japan.

Students must email their high resolution photos to us one week prior to class so we can prepare them in time for class.
