9 week series - September 12 - November 14

Not for beginning students. Work with materials you are already familiar with via prior class instruction.

Bring your own subject, reference material, and the supplies you typically work with. No assignments. Instructor Karen Halpern will foster critical thinking, and make suggestions to guide you, as you advance with your individualized project. Her goal is to broaden your viewpoint, and develop your skills and knowledge. Students generally use materials such as acrylics, oils, watercolor or collage. Bring your own lightweight portable easel, if you work upright. If you are a returning student, plan to start a fresh piece of work this semester! Not for beginning students.

In this workshop you will create an 8”x12” Charcuterie Board. If you have never created a fused glass project we will introduce you to glass fusing and cutting techniques. You will learn how to cut and nip colorful pieces of glass that you will stack on a base piece of glass to create your unique design. If you have already taken one of our workshops you can challenge yourself to try different techniques. Come with a design idea in mind or get inspiration from one of our many samples.
