Glass Kiln + Printmaking + art teachers = Great Fun!


Saturday January 28th was a mini-conference hosted by Missi Carini in her BRAND NEW STUDIO! The workshop began with Missi showing us around and then schooling us in the qualities of glass.....we learned all about melting temps and Glass techniques as well as glass cutting. Missi also showed us how to melt the rods with a small candle flame to create a curvy line in our glass piece. We all created 2-3 pieces before our delicious lunch (prepared by Missi's husband, Michael) Soup was served. After lunch we tried out some printmaking techniques using the printing press. It was definitly an art filled day!

It was a very informative and fun day! I could use some more of these. I think I'm in love with glass....now to see if I can transfer my ceramic kiln into a glass kiln. Oh the fun we will have! Thanks Missi for a wonderful day! I learned a lot.
