To further embellish the pieces, students will learn how to apply mica powder over the stamped images.
Students will create multiple stamped pieces that will be fired and incorporated into their class project and/or future projects. Information on using low and high fire enamels and firing schedules will be discussed in class. Whether used in jewelry, mosaic pieces, stained glass or large fused pieces, Stamping on Glass will add a unique beauty to your projects. The Fossil Vitra technique will also be covered. This technique leaves (no pun intended) beautiful fossil like images on your glass. There are definite tips and tricks that will make you successful with this technique. COE 96 will be used in class.
