Line, shape, texture, form, and color. These Elements of Design are the basic components that make up an artwork.

Learn what you can achieve by firing clear powder in contact with iridescent coatings, including both on top of and between layers of irid sheet glass.

Clear Powder on Iridescent Sheet Glass L073

Clear powder with iridescent sheet glass can be a powerful design tool. Learn what you can achieve by firing clear powder in contact with iridescent coatings.

This lesson teaches Stacy Lynn Smith's approach to powder printing—preferred tools, process steps and cleaning up.

Powder printing allows artists to produce archival images on glass with a range of colors, textures, and layers of transparency. This lesson is based on Stacy Lynn Smith's approach to powder printing.

This lesson covers the unique visual properties of Opaline sheet glass, the science behind its color, and its effects when layered with other colored glass.

Expanding the Color Palette: Opaline Overlays L057

Opaline sheet glass has great potential to expand the color palette in kilnforming because it has the ability to create new colors with distinct properties. Learn more about using Opaline in this lesson.

This lesson combines 21 sheet glass styles to demonstrate how many custom colors you can make by combining hues from Bullseye's palette.

Expanding the Color Palette: Composite Colors L056

In this lesson, learn to create a broad array of hues for use in kiln-glass projects by firing two different colors of sheet glass together.

In this project-based lesson, we'll use 2mm stringer and 3mm sheet glass to make a basic plate with a line-based design and abundant color options.

Inline Plate Project L050

In this project-based lesson, we’ll make a basic plate with a line-based design. Using 2mm stringer and 3mm sheet glass,

In this lesson, learn some of the ways that harnessing glass flow can help you achieve spectacular effects with your glass.
