North Lands Creative Glass
Monday 5 - Friday 9 March 2012
Glass Engraving workshop with Dominic Fonde "The Floating Glass World" at Northlands Creative Glass, Lybster Scotland.
Led by Dominic Fonde, this five-day engraving technique class will cover preparatory drawing techniques for engraving, how to develop ideas and composition of the image, and exercises designed to encourage skill in the technique of drill engraving.
The theme of the workshop is "The floating glass world". This is a play on words referencing images of Ukiyo-e (‘pictures of the floating world' in English) from which students will draw inspiration and the fact that they will be engraving on ‘float' glass. Ukyio-e typically takes the form of woodblock prints. They were produced in large numbers between the 17th and 20th century and depict many scenes of Japanese landscapes, historical events and popular culture of the time. At the end of the class students will be able to take home their very own "Floating glass world" image.
Glass engraving needs little specialised equipment to get started and students will be able to learn the skills required quickly so they can create their own engraved glass artwork. This workshop will focus on drill engraving, one of the most accessible styles of glass engraving.
Through a mix of discussion and hands on demonstrations students will be made familiar with the engraving drills, diamond burrs and how to handle engraving on flat glass.
The course is suitable for all levels of experience.
Cost: £450
