Melanie will be traveling from Germany to teach in Eugene, Oregon,

In this 3-day class, you’ll start by making stringers of different diameters and learn why it is important to have enough stringers BEFORE you start working. You will also learn what diameter stringers to use in certain cases. Learn to make fine-lined murrinis, Indian elephant beads, and free-form shapes such as rocks, islands and tabs. Also covered will be modern flower focals and the combination possibilities of opaque and transparent glass.
Be prepared to challenge your creative abilities
AND have a Rockin’ Good Time!
Class will be limited to 10 students. Glasscraft will provide Minor burners
for each student, but feel free to bring your own torch if you like. Melanie says GTT torches are preferred because they can be used with a TINY, SHARP flame.

The Human Figure in Soft Glass
$375.00
Skill Level - Any Level
This class will cover techniques used to create the human form in male and female. Students learn solid sculpting techniques using the kiln as a garage to create solid components used in the sculpture, a more user friendly way than the Italian way. Even though the work is done in soft glass the techniques can apply to Borosilicate as well, so you Boro guys don't be intimidated. Depending on class progress, it can also lead into creating avolio used in goblet making or even to wearable art. The glass working will be done in transparent colors to ensure the maximum stability of fusing joints and seams. .
