"Thinking Painting, Using Fusing"

In this class Roger Thomas shares his technique for designing and rendering landscapes in fused glass. The student will make samples of different techniques for landscapes, each illustrating styles Roger uses in his own studio. In addition the student will create a larger landscape project using techniques they will develop during the class. This is an ideal class for the accomplished fuser looking to expand into a more pictorial medium as well as the accomplished painter or draughtsman wishing to expand into fused glass. The prerequisites are either good fusing skills or good painting skills combined with basic fusing experience.
