Photographic Images on Glass with Tom Krepcio
The catalog doesn't come out until later this week and registration does not start until December 3, but I thought I would give a heads up that I'm teaching a workshop at Craft Alliance here in St. Louis, February 5-6, 2011. Go to the Craft Alliance Workshop Page to register.
Photographic Images on Glass with Tom Krepcio
DELMAR STUDIOS & KRANZBERG ARTS CENTER
3104 Feb 5 & 6 Sat & Sun 1-5P
Tuition: $ 120 Members: $108
Materials & Lab Fee: $30
Learn to print photographic images on to flat glass pieces.
Day 1 is in the computer lab at the Grand Center location
Day 2 is in the glass studio at the Delmar location.
First Day: You will scan photos and process them for screenprinting using Adobe Photoshop. Tom will teach you what constitutes a good image for transferring to glass, what are halftone patterns and how to create them and then make a simple Thermal screen to use on Day 2. Please bring a variety of photos. Some knowledge of Macintosh computers is desirable and some familiarity with Photoshop is helpful, but not essential.
Second Day: You will be in the Glass studio at the Delmar Location. The screens created on Saturday will be used to screen vitreous enamel paint onto glass. Methods of manipulating screened paint will also be explored. The pros and cons of alternative methods will also be discussed. Prior work with glass is helpful, but not required. All pieces will be fired and ready for pick-up 1 week after the workshop.
