Workshop: Slate coasters

This design was hand drawn, filled in with fineliner and then lasered onto the slate.

Somehow I kept a steady hand after a couple of glasses of mulled wine!

Glass painting & fusion workshop @ Gelf Studios

Glass Painting & Fusion

Workshop @ Gelf Studios, Bletchley, Milton Keynes

Led by Kathryn Flegg who produces beautiful artisan kiln fused glass pieces.

We started with sketching the design onto a paper template of the arched shaped glass. I then used special glass paint to draw the outline using a fine 'drawing' tool. Once I had finished the painting stage layers of frit glass powders were added onto the design of the sun and the tree elements. 

The design on glass prior to the firing stage.

The design was then fired in a kiln, placed into a wooden block and I am very pleased
with the finished result!
