Fused Glass Summer Sail | Mon. April 14

Class Description

This whimsical piece will bring back memories of the last time you set sail! Dody Bowman will get you started with 3 mm white art glass on this piece, to create a longer panel of sailboats at 10" by 4.5". A couple colors of blue frit will be available to choose from as 'water'. There will be several colors of 'sails' cut to use or you may want to cut your own choice of sails. Lots of glass pieces to choose from will be available. The sky is a blue powder. Plenty of sea gulls available, too! The glossy ceramic tile stand shown will be included with this piece. This class is Monday, April 14 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Canoe Club Wine Bar. Pick up time will be determined in class. About your instructor: Dody Bowman was first introduced to warm glass while she was teaching ceramics at the Kapalua Art School, Kapalua, Maui. She loved what you can do with glass and made her living the next 18 years on Maui selling her beautiful glass work in galleries, art fairs and craft events. To continue to learn and grow, she’s taken glass fusing classes with legendary glass artist, Patty Gray, and Master Class fusing with Tonya Veit, AAE Glass, whose work she admires. Dody has been actively firing glass for 25 years. Dody’s teaching philosophy: I want you to experiment and do your own thing art wise, while using my knowledge and experience to guide you on making a piece that will last forever. I want to help you learn the basics of glass, not only to have fun, but to create an amazing piece of your own. Through experimenting with combining colors and thicknesses of glass, I’ll help you understand what happens in the kiln and why.
