Fused Feathers and More
Using Modeling Glass
with Lois Manno
3-Day Workshop
Friday, September 6th 10am - 5pm
Saturday, September 7th 10am - 5pm
Sunday, September 8th 10am - 5pm
$450
Class is Full! Please call for a waitlist.
By combining powdered glass with a dry binder,
water, and a liquid medium, Lois Manno has developed the Modeling Glass™
system that turns messy powder into a manageable material with the
consistency of clay. With this system, students are able to create three
dimensional objects without the labor intensive steps involved in pate de
verre, as no molds are involved or freezing required. Similar to clay, the
material can be thinned with water into a paste or formed into a shape and
dried before firing. Likewise, the need to coldwork has practically been
eliminated as all clean up can be done with sandpaper before the firing!
In this three day class, students will learn, step-by-step, how to work with Modeling Glass™
to make their own life-like BlueJay feather with glass powders.
Students will also be introduced several other interesting projects, exploring various techniques like combining Modeling Glass shapes with sheet glass, and working with silicone molds in a great alternative to freeze and fuse. We’ll discuss display, mixing tricks, firing schedules, and the nearly limitless ways to work with this exciting new product.
Things to Bring: Notepad, pen, dust mask.
About the Instructor:
Lois Manno is the owner of Glass Bird Studios in New Mexico and the creator
of Modeling Glass. It is a two-part system made of a powdered binder and
liquid medium that, mixed with frit or powders along with a little water,
turns the powder into a material that can be sculpted like clay. It is
featured in the workshops she teaches. Learn more about Lois and

Animals In Mosaics
with Bonnie Fitzgerald
3-Day Workshop Developed Especially for Anything Stained Glass!
Friday, Nov 1st 10am - 5pm
Saturday, Nov 2nd 10am - 5pm
Sunday, Nov 3rd 10am - 12pm
$350
Create a stylized glass mosaic animal portrait. Working directly
from photographs, students learn to apply mosaic techniques to a portrait of an
animal of their choosing. The principles of color, tone, perspective, and
cutting techniques are covered in class lectures. Special cutting and laying
techniques are introduced to determine what is best suited for your animal. This
is a terrific first step to mastering the portrait in mosaic.
Students MUST submit images to the instructor one week IN ADVANCE
(electronically). A separate $45 supply fee is payable to the
Instructor on the first day of the workshop and includes preparation of your
animal image, properly scaled to size, other resource images, properly
prepared substrate, design supplies, and grout. We
work approximately one square foot of mosaic.
Included in your overall workshop fee are the use of
grinders and other hand tools as needed. Also, access to AISG scrap glass!
Students are responsible for providing their own stained glass and WeldBond
glue. AISG will remain open during workshop hours for your convenience.
On Friday there will be a picture presentation and
demonstrations that will help you determine the best cutting “style” for
your animal. We work throughout the day with lots of conversation about
mosaic technique. Saturday is a full working studio day filled with fun and
creativity. Sunday will be spent on grouting and finishing techniques,
friendly critique and Q & A. All skill levels welcome, no experience
necessary.
Some mosaic or stained glass experience is helpful, but
not required. Students can expect a great deal of personal instruction and
guidance and no question will go unanswered. For a more detailed workshop description, examples of student work from past workshops, and a detailed supply list, visit
maverickmosaics.com.
