Murrini Making and Pulling Stringers
(Filati) for Beginners
Do you make art that could use some
special murrini or stringer (aka "filati") in the perfect color,
but you have little or no experience on the torch? This class is
designed for you.
Join Atlanta glass artist and teacher,
Marcy Lamberson for a 2 hour introductory class to teach you how to use the
torch and make simple murrini and pull stringer in different thicknesses.
We'll explore a couple of styles and Marcy be including lots of tips and
tricks to make you successful.
We'll cover the basics including torch
safety, and get right to work, so you will be taking home the product of your
new found skills.
It's so much fun being able to make
exactly what you want, for your art piece. And although you will be
learning techniques with a specific range of colors, feel free to bring in your
art piece that you want to match, so Marcy can help you find what you need for
future murrini making and stringer work during Blue Moon's open torch
times.
No experience needed...just a desire to
stretch your technique levels and extend your knowledge
Tuition: $45
*Please
note, there are 2 classes that work well in conjunction...the Murrini and
Stringer for Beginners and the Color Mixing class. Together, you'll be
able to get the hue as well as the shape and patterns that you desire.
Wednesday Nov. 16th from 7-9PM

Color Mixing for Beginners Using A Torch
(104 COE)
We know that there are times when we
want a very specific color of glass to use in our art piece, but are not sure
exactly how to get it. Join glass artist Marcy Lamberson for a 2 hour
class on how to layer and mix colors within the 104 COE range to get that
elusive shade. We'll be melting, mixing, layering and having a lot of fun
in this class using Blue Moon torches. And don't worry if you haven't
used a torch before, we'll cover those basics and safety too.
This is a fun class for friends.
As everyone tries different color combinations, you can compare and save
samples for your future reference as well. No experience needed...just a love of
color and desire to experiment
Tuition: $45
