About

Frit (ground fusible glass), combined with foliage, creates delicate organic images that will complement your food presentation or anything you might imagine.

In the first session, you'll learn about the necessary safety and cleanup practices when it comes to using glass powders. Then, with step-by-step instruction, you'll practice the process of layering frit to colorize the dried foliage you've  chosen to decorate your dishware.

Details

This class will provide instruction in best practices for cutting and shaping glass. 

Details

  • A $45 materials fee, included in the price of the class, covers everything you need except for foliage.
  • You need to bring foliage. A document with instructions on how to dry and store foliage will be in your confirmation email, reminder email, and within your registration portal on BARN's website.

Project

You'll make one 9-inch-square swoop serving piece, one 3-inch by 9-inch channel plate, and three 3-inch-square  condiment dishes.

Class Policies

  • Ages 14 and up are welcome.
  • Wear close-toed shoes and long pants in the Glass Arts Studio at all times.
Instructor
Diane Bonciolini

Diane Bonciolini is the olini of Mesolini Glass Studio. Glass is her passion. As a full-time glass artist who has lived and worked on Bainbridge Island since 1977, she grows and changes with every project. She describes glass as having a life of its own. This multifaceted medium shows itself in each of her creations: stained glass, slumped and fused glass, lamp work, or glass combined with concrete.
