Published glass artist Tanya Veit of AAE Glass presents a 2 day workshop teaching advanced fusing techniques to create gallery worthy fused glass jewelry. You will learn how to create 5-6 layered glass jewelry pieces, dichroic glass shading, create your own color blends in glass design as well as create your own patterned dichroic glass. Intricate etching techniques are taught along with creating your own frit blends and using paints to create your own landscapes FOUR different ways. Tanya's Picasso technique is also taught. As the creator of those cool new decals you may have seen, Tanya demonstrates serious decal work, while even adding your own color to the decals!

This is NOT a decal class! The decals are just icing on the cake, the workshop is about creating the 7 layers to get there! You will learn coldworking techniques that are essential to producing quality work, including how to shape and set your pieces in silver settings. This class fills up quickly! Students will leave with 5-6 jewelry projects. Basic fusing knowledge along with cutting skills are preferred, but not necessary. If you need basic instruction, we offer a Fusing 101 class as well.
