Painting on Glass

KAZUMI IKEMOTO

Painting on glass with enamel pigments is a traditional technique know to glass artist for centuries. In this session, I am aimed for the pleasure of drawing on glass and discovery of free expression in the glass. I do a demonstration of several kinds enamel technique and also demonstrate the creation of rich and dynamic imagery on the surface of blown glass and plate glass. Through training of the enamel technique including airbrushing, stippling, highlighting, I will help students to find out possibility of new expression in glass. The students please come prepared with drawings as much as possible.
No experience required but if you have painting background it is helpful.
