Mike Dupille Workshop
Stained Glass Stuff is most pleased to announce that Mike Dupille will be teaching his famous Fritography class here in our studio from Wednesday, September 9th, to Friday September 11th, 2009. This Three Day class will run from 9am to 5pm. The class size is limited to 12 students with some fusing experience.
Mike is one of the pioneers of the warm glass movement, having started with glass blowing in the 1970's, then progressed into using crushed up glass, or frit, to compose super detailed pictures, in a process he called "Fritography" Mike has also worked with developing new kinds of mediums for mold making and casting glass.
You can see some of Mike work on his website, and in books like Boyce Lundstrom's three books on Advanced Fusing and Richard LaLonde's latest book, Fused Glass Art and Technique. He has done work for Bullseye, taught at Camp Colton, Hot Glass Horizons, Glass Craft & Bead Expo, and all across the US and into Mexico. This will be his first class taught in Canada. Hopefully it will not be snowing while he is here.
This workshop will cover how to use frit to create amazing imagery through multiple firings. Time permitting, Mike may delve into some Installation techniques, possibly a Powerpoint / Slideshow to show details, and maybe even some basic casting with his special mix, Castalot.
At this time, we do not have a final price on this workshop. We are taking deposits of $150 to secure spaces in this class. The final price will include all taxes, materials, use of tools, firing, a hot lunch each day, and light refreshments throughout the day.
