Glass Painting
Williams & Byrne from England
Demonstration, practice and discussion: focusing on the main techniques we use, we’ll demonstrate the ‘single-firing’ method, and discuss how its flexibility gives us the means to work for many different kinds of clients in many different styles. Naturally we’ll bring along a good variety of designs, so you’ll also get time to copy an image of your own.

Conservation Of Medieval Stained Glass
Conservation Of Medieval Stained Glass
Tom Kupper & Dan Beal, Lincoln Cathedral
In a dedicated 4 hour session, Tom Kupper & Dan Beal of Lincoln Cathedral will demonstrate methods and approaches for conserving and preserving medieval stained glass. Using medieval stained glass from the renowned Pitcairn collection at the Glencairn museum, they will discuss issues such as mechanical and chemical cleaning methods, glass analysis, environmental monitoring and the development of the right protective glazing systems. Dan, will discuss and demonstrate painting techniques related to restoration practice. There will be explanation of support materials such as full scale polycarbonate transparencies, facsimile glass, examples of historic and modern metal work and environmental and chemical glass analysis documentation. Part of the session is potentially hands on, so that the delegates can have first hand experience with some of the techniques previously shown and discussed. Tom will also showcase digital recording techniques. This is an extremely rare opportunity.

Image Transfer on Kiln-cast Glass
Image Transfer on Kiln-cast Glass
Troy Moody
This workshop is intended to offer an introduction to two unique techniques for adding complexity to kiln formed art glass. The first technique is the use of iron-oxide decals to transfer custom imagery into your work while the other is a “dry casting” technique to create topography and textures in kiln formed glass.

Design Workshop *FILLED*
Narcissus QuagliataDesign Workshop *FILLED*
From the mind of the artist to a complete presentation to the client, the purpose of this class is to guide the students through the process of creating a project from conception to its presentation to a client or architect. Painters, architects, and glass artists are invited to discover the potential of glass as a medium, and turn this awareness into a project that can be realized.

Acid Etching Workshop
Tom KrepcioAcid Etching Workshop
Taking advantage of the science lab facilities at the Doering Center of Bryn Athyn College, Tom Krepcio will conduct a workshop in the etching of flashed glass using hydrofluoric acid. Topics covered will be the safe setup of an acid etching space, the application and advantages of a variety of acid resists, and what equipment is needed depending on what scale you are working at. There will be a comparison of sandblasting, engraving and acid etching, with samples showing where each has advantages and disadvantages. The differences in the etching qualities and times of different flashed glasses will also be looked at. Most importantly, we will look at how, in all instances, to work safely with hydrofluoric acid. This is a unique chance to take a workshop in this fascinating process.

Glass Mosaics - Contemporary and Traditional
Carol Stirton-BroadGlass Mosaics - Contemporary and Traditional
Mosaic Art is having a resurgence in the United States and glass in many forms is playing a major role in this new wave of artistic creativity. In this workshop we will look at several of these types of glass, focusing on the traditional Italian smalti and compare it to the products from Mexico and China. Each participant will produce a small sampler using traditional techniques. Next you will make another small piece using these materials in your own style. There will be a limited number of hammer and hardies available for you to try as well as a collection of glass nippers for you to experiment with. The instructor will bring sample boards from different manufacturers and provide a list of resources as well as a handout with a review of the material covered.
