Here's a fun new way to etch dichroic glass! In this class, Carmen Flores Tanis will go into detail as she teaches you her technique for etching your unique artwork onto dichroic glass using a laser printer and a printable resist film. Other than the film, this technique uses no special tools or materials, is simple, inexpensive and as long as your image is in high contrast black and white - your artwork can be anything - clipart, photos, logos or original artwork. Imagine the possibilities!
You will learn:
- how to prepare artwork in Photoshop
- what types of glass work best
- how to print out your artwork and apply it to the glass
- how to apply the etching cream
- how to remove the resist.
You'll practice using ring saws and grinders and finish up the first session prepping the pieces for kiln firing overnight. The next day, you'll return to assemble your new dichroic treasures into a 8” x 12” table top/tray using the super easy, super quick “double indirect method”. We'll be using a selection of assorted images but feel free to bring along your favorite black & white high contrast high resolution images on USB stick or CD and you can try your hand at etching them at the end of the class. If you have a laptop computer please bring it along! (Basic computer and digital image editing skills are helpful but not required for the class.)
The next day you'll learn how fit the fired glass pieces into ready-made bezels and how to attach the bezels to the leather wristbands. You'll walk out with an armful of art!
