Richard La Londe is returning to Fusions Glass Studio! We are honored to be chosen as the only studio outside his own where he will offer his highly popular Frit Imagery Workshop during 2012.
Richard La Londe one of the pioneers of glass fusing and is known for his brightly colored images drawn with crushed glass and fused into murals and vessels. He has written two informative books, Richard La Londe: Fused Glass Art and Technique and Richard La Londe and Friends - Book II.
This is an ambitious workshop! Explore ways to create imagery in your fusing projects with frit. Workshop participants will warm up their design ideas with "touch drawing" monoprints on paper. We will work with "tested compatible" Bullseye glass using 3 mm and 6 mm sheet glass, crushed glass frit mixtures, the liquid glass line method, multiple firings, silver foil, and various techniques that La Londe has developed including sand fuse/slumping molds. Each participant will create (5) fused glass pieces and fabricate an aluminum backing plate to mount a class tile for wall hanging.

The focus of this powerful course is toward developing and refining a
skilled, intuitive and uniquely individual approach to mark making using
sheet glass and powders. Simple black and white single layer studies
encourage increasingly individual work and culminate in independent
multi-layered monochromatic and color projects. Participants naturally
expand their kiln-forming skills while acquiring a greater understanding of
material, composition, line, spatial perspective, layering strategies and
use of color. Experimentation with materials and strategies for invention
will be encouraged and the creative process of moving from idea to concept
sketches toward final resolution will be stressed.
Quote from Lani's Blog at bullseyeglass.com:
Catharine Newell is more than an exceptional artist. She’s one of the most sharing, inspirational and encouraging teachers I know. Classes by teachers of this caliber are what will keep our “industry” vital.
Catharine Newell is recognized for her distinctive figurative work, which examines the persistence of memory and its impact on relationships. Newell lectures, teaches and exhibits internationally. She was nominated for the Louis Comfort Tiffany Biennial Award in 2003, and her work was selected for New Glass Review 26 and 30 and has recently been acquired for the permanent collections of Swedish Hospital in Seattle, University of Miami Lowe Museum and the Museum of the Academy of Arts and Design Tsinghua University in Beijing. Newell maintains a private studio in Portland, Oregon. Newell was featured in OPB's Oregon Art Beat.

Printmaker and painter Martha Pfanschmidt began creating richly layered kiln-glass assemblages of pattern and imagery during a 2003 Artist/ Factory Exchange project at Bullseye called “Found In Translation.” Now you can work with the artist and explore the same materials and methods she employed in creating that signature work. Using colored glass powders on clear sheet glass, you will develop patterns and images, fire them, cut them up, and then reassemble and stack them into compositions two to four layers thick. The final firing will result in visually complex finished works. This workshop is ideal for artists from other media and beginning to advanced kiln-glass practitioners.
