Kathy Barnard - Intermediate Etching

Service Description

Single-Day class, Wednesday This workshop is available as a continuation for students who attended the Tuesday session, or for those with prior sandblasting experience. We will explore how to set up an affordable sandblast system for your studio as well as more detailed deep carving techniques and other etching techniques such as diamond drill micro motor engraving. Disposable respirators will be available but students are encouraged to bring their own if desired. From Kathy - "After years of working with glass and learning how it behaves, I have mastered how it holds and reflects light, and I use this knowledge in my designs to vividly portray a color as no other substance can. My works range from delicate etched flower plates to glass panels making up the side of an entire building. I create sculptural carved art glass, deep carved windows and murals as well as stained glass windows. My designs include the human figure and geometric patterns, but my true love is nature and my research of plants and animals is exhibited repeatedly in my designs."
