Learn to paint on glass. Emma will pass on to her students the ancient glass painting skills that she learnt from stained glass master craftsmen at the top European stained glass studios. Using kiln-fired glass paint, students will learn Victorian paint layering methods using lavender oil and vinegar. It’s a lot less scary than it sounds! After the class the glass paintings will be taken to Emma’s studio in Hunworth North Norfolk and fired in her kiln at 620 degrees. Then the fired glass paintings will be framed and posted or delivered by hand to each student.
For children with their parents…for adults…for GCSE students, retirees, people who are good at art, people who are bad at art…anyone! Materials, tools, lunch and refreshments are provided.

All standards catered for and all confidences boosted!
No previous experience necessary.
Skills and use of tools that will be learnt; Design skills (noticing detail; composition; balance of line, shape light and dark; focal point of a painting; controlling value gradation in order to make things appear three dimensional; creating different textures); mixing and grinding the kiln-firable glass paint with gum Arabic using a pallet knife on a glass pallet; applying a vinegar wash with an applicator brush; diffusing a vinegar wash using a badger brush; removing the highlights of the image using a stick or pin; applying the low lights with lavender-oil-mixed glass paint using a rigger tracing brush (including controlling density of line, curves and a circles); firing temperatures. Students will spend the morning practicing handling the glass paint, we will all go to across the road to Allium for lunch together, and in the afternoon students will make their own 7″x9″ glass painting of anything they choose. Design ideas and templates will be provided, or students can bring their own 7″x9″ photocopy of the image they want to reproduce in their glass painting.
All tools and materials will be provided. Wear old clothes.
