Default Spaces Available for Marcy Lamberson Class in Atlanta February 19-20, 2009!

Marcy Lamberson will be teaching a class for the Southern Flames in Atlanta next month and there are currently a couple of openings for the class on Thursday and Friday, February 19-20, 2009. The cost for the two-day class is an incredible $160.00! Marcy will be teaching at the Gathering this year, and this is a great opportunity to grab this class early! Marcy's class description is below.

"Living the Sculptural Glass Life a Little Off Balance"
Class Objectives:
Main: To teach by breaking down glass Sculpture techniques into easy steps and keeping it fun.
Sub: Basic Shapes - using what you already know and translating it into sculpture.
Sub: Creative ways of using the tools you have as well as an introduction to new ones.
Sub: Heat Control and asymmetrical balance while torching.
Sub: Translating 3-D and 2-D inspiration into beads.
Sub: Technique Details- like skin, fur, hair, facial expressions and a handout.
Sub: Adding fun to your sculptures- it's all in the little details.

Day 1:
Getting comfortable with glass sculpture by using some shapes and tools that you already know. We'll take basic lampworking shapes as the start-off point and turn them into simple sculptural items -- e.g., turn donut shapes into birds, bicones into seashells, lentils or tabs into flowers or faces, cones into cupcakes or owls, etc. In addition to working with the shapes, we'll also focus on techniques and tools pertinent to the different items.

Day 2:
Ah, the fun day. We'll be doing more complex sculptural pieces and combining some of the techniques that we learned the day before. On top of that, we'll be working more with heat control, so it makes it to the kiln. We'll also work with facial expressions, proportions and creative details.

Experience level: Intermediate. Students should have completed some form of basic glass bead making instruction, either self–taught or otherwise. The class covers a broad array of techniques and offers challenging applications for a wide variety of skill-levels.

Students will supply their own tools and glass to be used in the class (mostly standard colors of Morretti/Effetre). A specific materials/supply list will be sent to students prior to the class.

Contact me by PM or at margo.knight@alston.com for registration details.

Brent it would be fun for you to come join us. You know how much we love you in Atlanta.

We tried really hard to keep the price low and of course, not having travel and other teacher expenses, we could cut the price waaay down for everyone.

Are you sure you don't mind a boro boy popping soft glass all over the place?

Default Correction

I realized I misspoke in my initial message, but not sure how to edit that post. The $135.00 class fee I posted is for Southern Flames members, and the fee for nonmembers is $160.00. I apologize for not including that bit. Still a fantastic price!
