Glass painting is a technique that developed to produce imagery for the great stained glass windows of medieval Europe. Lines and tones that appear in the faces and drapery of saints, for instance, were created with this process. Glass painting allows the artist to letter inscriptions, render the texture of fur or feathers, produce the subtle folds of drapery or flesh and create the illusion of the third dimension. This workshop will introduce the student to the art of mixing and applying kiln-fired pigments. It is a professional technique and not to be confused with decorative glass painting using acrylic or epoxy based paints, which air-dry or can be fired in a home oven. This is an introductory class for the novice as well as those with prior experience.
