Paint, Stain, Enamel – Glass Painting Weekend
Course Outline
Explore traditional applications of paint, stain and enamel on glass on this two day course. Learn techniques including line-work, shading and sgraffito using vitreous glass paint, followed by explorations of silver stain and enamel to introduce colour and layering. Create a number of samples and experimental pieces which will undergo multiple firings.
This course is suitable for beginners and those looking to expand and refine their painting skills. Painted pieces from this course can be brought along and incorporated in our 2 day Leading and Glazing course.
Please note: due to the paint pigment containing lead this course is not suitable for those who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
