Terry Ow-Wing

Fused Dichroic Jewelry with Lampworked Elements

Febuary 21st - 22nd, 2009       

9:30am-5:30pm

2-Day Workshop Fee: $295.00 (includes all materials and lunch)

In this new and exciting two-day workshop, beadmakers and fusers will come together to make the most of both techniques. Expect to go wild as you learn to let loose on the torch and become one with the kiln. Learn how to compose artfully, and create gems from a wide pallet of colors and torch techniques. We will also cover special layering techniques that bring out the best in glass. Students will focus on creating jewelry and small objects as we explore design, shape, and composition, to develop pieces with more diversity than ever before. This workshop is open to glass fusers and beadmakers. It is helpful, but not necessary, to have experience in both disciplines. We will be using tons of dichroic, opalescent, and translucent glass. This is a perfect class for those of us that have loads of scrap and cannot bear to part with any of it!

 

Each of TERRY OW-WING'S creations is one of a kind. All of her work emphasizes individuality, not mass production, incorporating light and its play on color, volume, space, and texture. Her background as an architect augmented with experiences in glass blowing and photography allow her to manipulate glass to capture light in many original designs. Her work is featured in Brad Walkers, Contemporary Warm Glass, as she predominately works with transparent glass with many dichroic accents. Her pieces are best viewed at many angles allowing both dynamic and subtle change of color to occur within the art piece. This dance of color and light will bring joy to the eyes and the heart.
