FUSED GLASS AND ENAMEL HOLIDAY ORNAMENTS with Lauren Toth

In this festive workshop, students will make glass Holiday ornaments using fired-on permanent enamels. Students will receive instruction on how to mix and “dot” paint the enamel. They can expect to complete at least 3-4 ornaments. Each ornament is 3” x 3” on clear fused glass complete with a wire hanger. Snowflakes are an option but the patterns are virtually endless. Students will be delighted to learn to create fused glass gifts for the holidays. Ornaments will be available for pickup the week after the workshop.

All levels.

SILK PAINTING: THE SERTI TECHNIQUE with Cheri Reckers

In this workshop, students will learn the art of silk painting and the serti technique (serti: meaning to "outline or enclose"). During the workshop, students will create a one-of-a-kind scarf, wall hanging or table runner on silk habotai using fluid textile paint and water-based resist. Creative options that day will include experimenting with watercolor techniques and students may choose to add texture with salt. Students can create their own simple design on their artwork or use one to be provided by the instructor. After the workshop, students can expect to take their finished silk painting home with them, just in time for the holidays!

No experience necessary! Just come and have fun!

Cheri Reckers earned her BFA with honors from the Columbus College of Art & Design and  has been a professional silk painter for almost 30 years.
