Type Lesson

This conclusion to Screen Printing with Enamels covers working safely with enamels, printing images onto glass, firing glass, and cleaning up afterwards.

Screen Printing with Enamels – Part 2 L031B

In Part 2 of the lesson, you will learn how to work safely with enamels, print your image onto the glass, fire the glass, and clean up or recycle materials when finished.

In this first part of a 2-part lesson, you will learn how to choose a silkscreen and an image for this process, before fixing it to the screen for printing.

Screen Printing with Enamels – Part 1 L031A

In Part 1 of the lesson, you will learn how to choose a silkscreen and an image for this process and how to prepare the image and fix it to the screen in preparation for printing.

Drawing with glass powder is a great way to explore and develop ideas. In this lesson, three people respond to a series of timed drawing exercises.

Drawing with Glass Powder L030

Drawing with glass powder frees you from the preciousness of the material, allowing you to take pleasure in drawing. See how three people respond to a series of timed drawing exercises based on an object.

This lesson provides instructions for making a thick-walled kilnformed glass container. It explores the materials, tools, and techniques involved.

Kilnformed Container L028

This lesson provides basic instructions for making a thick-walled kilnformed glass container.

In this lesson, you will learn how to transform a Paragon Caldera kiln into a Vitrigraph kiln and safely hand-pull stringers for a variety of uses.

Vitrigraph Kiln: Basic Use L027

In this lesson you will learn how to transform a Paragon Caldera kiln into a Vitrigraph kiln and how to safely hand-pull stringers to use when designing, drawing, or painting with glass.

This lesson covers methods for open-faced kilncasting, including preparing the model, making an open-faced mold, and calculating the needed glass volume.

Open-Faced Kilncasting L026

In this lesson, you will learn considerations for preparing a model, tips for making an open-faced mold and calculating the amount of glass needed to fill it.

In this lesson, we will survey of the types of color reactions that are possible using kiln-glass and consider how those reactions can prove desirable.

Color Reactions and Special Effects L024

With certain glasses, chemistries will interact to create effects and different colors than what one might anticipate. Learn about the types of possible reactions, which can prove quite useful in art and design.

In this lesson, you apply what you learned in the video “Firing: Basic Principles” and design firing schedules for different kinds of fusing.

Firing: Basic Applications L023

In this lesson, using what you learned in "Firing: Basic Principles" you will design firing schedules for fusing, tack-fusing and slumping a platter with a textured surface.

This project-based lesson doesn't just demonstrate how to fuse and slump a glass plate: it shows how to do so with reactive sheet glass and stringers.

Linear Reaction Plate L022

By following these step-by-step instructions you will learn how special colors and effects can be achieved when glass chemistries interact.

Artists at Work: Ted Sawyer L021

Artist Ted Sawyer demonstrates his approach to working with powder on sheet glass, creating two signature pieces in the Research & Education studio of Bullseye Glass Co.

In this lesson, you will learn how to achieve a variety of surface textures and finishes with frit by employing strategic heatwork.

Heatwork and Frit L017

In this lesson you will learn how to achieve a variety of surface textures and finishes with frit by varying time and temperature in the kiln.

Heatwork and Color: Sheet Glass L016

In this lesson you will learn about the relationship between heatwork and color in sheet glass.
