Alluring Landscape Paintings in Fused Glass
with Scandia Wood
2 Day Class
Oct 30th & Oct 31st
10:00am to 5:00pm
$ 485
Maximum 8 Students
Class is Full! Call for Waitlist!
In this newly designed for 2025 2-day painting technique class, Scandia will introduce you to the techniques
she herself uses when creating her fused glass landscape paintings. She will cover the importance of choosing your base
glass, designing your paintings to convey adjusting the scene’s lighting to convey seasonal & weather changes, time
of day, etc. You will be using Frit, enamels & glass paints to add details. As with most of Scandia’s techniques,
these types of landscape paintings are generally fired several times to achieve the finished effect.
Class participants will create a primary larger painting and a smaller secondary landscape working from supplied
landscape photos and two pre-selected background glass choices. Information on ways to display your paintings will
also be reviewed. No glass cutting is required using this technique and while helpful, it is not required that you have prior
experience in painting. Scandia will walk you through all the steps and help explain the overall technique as you work through
the first two rounds of your paintings, so you leave with confidence to continue to paint once returning to your own studio.
There is zero glass cutting in this workshop but please bring your Frit application tools that you are most comfortable using.

approach while the second project will focus on the importance of selecting the best sheet glass to enhance your florals.
We will cover multiple ways to add visual pop, dimension & depth to your work and will be using cut & nipped colored
solid and mixed Oceanside Compatible glasses, hand pulled Vitrograph stems, Twisted Cane® Murrini (and pressed Murrini),

Pieces do not require damming, but we will be offering Patty Gray Damming molds by Creative Paradise for sale

your projects back home to complete during additional firings (Scandia finds these extremely useful). Bring your
