Join us in this fun workshop in which you will create 2 richly colourful floral display art pieces, taking them through the first 2 rounds of building & detailing, as well as their first 2 kiln firings. Scandia shares the numerous approaches she uses in her own work, including:
- "work-in-turns" to add depth and dimension
- shading techniques to convey lighting
- layering specific specialty glasses for extra visual display pop
- displaying your finished pieces
- and many more tips on a range of materials!
Materials used will be:
- a range of coloured Oceanside Compatible glasses and frit

- and an assortment of fine and pre-cut elements.
Your 1st project will be a thick floral display work-in-turn on clear glass and your 2nd project will utilize specialty mixed glasses to enhance the visual effect of your floral fields.
All pieces will be fired for attendees to pick up when completed or arrangements can be made with us for return shipping. Please visit Scandia's Instagram page @scandiaglassart or her website: www.ScandiaGlassArt.com to view additional group images from previous workshops.

Instructor Information: Scandia Wood began her art glass journey learning stained glass in her childhood and continued working with glass as a hobbyist throughout her life as a creative escape in her spare time. As luck would have it, her passion for art glass would eventually lead her to pursue a full-time career working for the art glass manufacturers themselves. In that capacity, she was able to assist in new product development, customer education, marketing efforts, attend industry trade shows, and teach numerous levels of fusing workshops.
Scandia considers herself to be incredibly fortunate that her longtime dance with art glass continues to evolve. She now focuses on creating her glass artwork through her own business, Scandia Glass Art. She additionally still enjoys teaching glass fusing technique classes for art glass suppliers and special glass industry events.
