Max Students 15Do you love dichroic glass? Have you ever felt limited by sheet glass? Frustrated with its limitations? Imagine being able to create detailed butterflies, shimmering fish, vibrant hummingbird wings - all with the stroke of a brush. Dichroic Extract is an amazing new product that takes the dichroic coating off the glass and into a jar! In this powdered form you can achieve amazing results with a paint brush and imagination. Can't draw? Don't be discouraged, rubber stamps can be used to provide an outline that you will be able to fill in and make your own.
Each student will be able to make 6 sample tiles. We will discuss glass preparation, practice brush stroke techniques, learn to blend the dichroic extract for amazing effects and learn about firing schedules. The extract is included in the class fee.
Supplies to bring: Safety glasses and good quality paint brushes.
