The Arts Glass Fusing + Slumping, Introductory Learn basic glass techniques to make small sculptural and functional glass objects. Participants use methods to form glass with fusing and slumping (bending) techniques. Those new to glass explore the technical aspects of kiln work, such as types of glass to use, the compatibilities of glass, proper annealing schedules, and creating designs using colored sheet glass with powdered frit. With demonstrations and hands-on projects, participants explore the unique qualities of this medium. Course content applicable to K-12 art classrooms, particularly to expand knowledge of 3-D concepts. Open to all teachers with interest in glass, no previous experienced required.

Glass Fusing + Slumping, Intermediate Continue to refine glass techniques to make small sculptural and functional glass objects. Participants use methods to form glass with fusing and slumping (bending) techniques. Develop more advanced experience with the technical aspects of kiln work, the compatibilities of glass, annealing schedules and using colored sheet glass with powdered frit. Participants create a series of pieces to build a style within their work.

Jewelry — Metal Clay: Process + Technique for the Classroom, Introductory Metal clay is an amazing material that is well adapted to classroom use. It is metallic clay made of either pure silver or bronze, which molds and handles like putty, fires in a kiln and becomes solid permanent silver. This material is unique, safe and non-toxic and requires only simple tools and equipment that students of all ages can easily use. In this course, work with various forms in both silver and bronze to produce basic jewelry or small sculptural objects, covering topics such as wet and dry fabrication, firing times and temperatures, use of the kiln and alternative firing methods. Topics may include projects for students, simple tool making and rubber molding, other basic jewelry techniques, and use of metal elements and alloys in jewelry. Course content is designed for application in art classrooms.

Jewelry — Metal Clay: Process + Technique for the Classroom, Intermediate In this course, work with metal clay in both silver and bronze to produce jewelry or small sculptural objects, covering more complex topics and techniques including applications of metal clay in combination with other materials, consideration of jewelry techniques, and use of metal elements and alloys. Course content is designed for application in art classrooms and for those with previous metal clay experience.
