Creating crackle textures with kilnformed glass powders was pioneered by Bob Leatherbarrow who has continued to explore and develop its design potential over the past 30 years. In this four-session masterclass, Bob will share his knowledge starting from the foundations and advancing to complex designs and compositions. The foundations include learning proper techniques and problem solving so you can control subtle aspects of crackle such as the size of the “islands” in the texture. Layering and blending of powders result in unique colour palettes. Bob will explain the placement of accent colours and the importance of sequencing colour layers. You will also learn how to develop your own unique and reproducible colour palette and work with reactive colours.
With these foundations in place, you can create your own unique compositions with crackle textures. You will discover ways to include subtle veining and “replacement” textures, to isolate the texture in specific parts of the design, and to work with different combinations of textured powder and sheet glass.
Class will run over 4 consecutive Sunday afternoons 12pm until 1.30pm (3.30 ish for those in the hybrid class) AEST (Melbourne) 20th, 27th Nov, 4th and 11th Dec
We have all become familiar with how Zoom classes work, you watch the live demo then head off into your studio to make the pieces. This is an excellent method of learning but this doesn’t suit everyone, so we came up with a twist, this is where the hybrid comes in. We are offering 6 places at our studio where students can join the Zoom sessions each week with Bob on our large screen TV. Students will have all the benefits normally available in Zoom; being able to ask questions and they will have access to the videos and Facebook group. Each week when Bob has finished his demo and talks, we will turn the TV off and students will be guided by Blue Dog Staff to complete the projects. For these 6 all materials and firings are included in the price.
How the class is delivered:
We will use the zoom platform to present this live masterclass. Each week Bob will guide you through the processes with a tutorial and demonstrations, students will have the opportunity to ask questions throughout the class. Bob will share everything you need to know to get started including firing schedules in Celsius.
The class will be recorded by Blue Dog and made available to students for 2 weeks after the class has concluded. We ask that you do not tape or share these sessions, this is how Bob makes his living.
Approximately a week prior to the class starting students will be sent a Zoom link and password. If you are new to Zoom we recommend you take some time to get to know the platform, it’s really very easy. Students will need a computer with a camera, microphone and good internet.
Students will also join Bob and Blue Dog in our closed Facebook group where images and results can be shared and questions can be bounced around, this is a great way to meet other glass enthusiasts. The Facebook group will remain open until one week after the last session.
For those students who elect to do the workshop at Blue Dog, we will watch Bob’s demos on the large TV, a coffee in one hand and a cake in the other. At the completion of the class we will make the samples ready for review the following week, lead by Blue Dog Glass staff.
What do you need:
Along with your computer you will need a range of materials and tools to do this workshop. For a full list of what you need please click here. For those students attending the class at Blue Dog Glass you will only need your basic PPE and glass cutter, everything else is included in the class fee.
