Learning to draw is a skill that you will use in many parts of life, not just in stained glass.
Even if you're left brain dominant, Deborah Ellington can teach you to draw.
Most people have not drawn anything since the third grade.
As adults, we're self-conscience about how our drawn images look
so we won't even try to draw.
Deborah has a BA, an MA and an MFA.
She has been teaching art at Lone Star College for several decades.
She knows the insecurities that you experience and how to overcome them.
In this class, you will learn how to "see" and translate
three-dimensional objects onto a two-dimensional surface.
In order that each student is working with the proper tools for success, the class will include
your pencils, erasers, charcoal, drawing paper, ViewCatcher, Angle Ruler, sketch book and
a sturdy easel. These products are yours to take home.
Students will learn the difference between types of pencils and erasers, how to hold the pencil,
how to "see" the object, how to create proportion and perspective, and how to use the
ViewCatcher and Angle Ruler. You'll also explore how to create dimension using value and
how to draw using negative space and positive shapes.
Plan on homework! Between class one and class two, you'll want to practice your newfound skills
every day. By the time you come to class two, you'll feel comfortable with the tools and
your ability to see the shapes that create an object.

Stained Glass has been a cherished art form for more than 1000 years.
Prior to the invention of tools that make it easy for modern artisans, apprentices
trained under proficient craftsmen to learn the trade.
In the 21st century, up-to-date tools make it easy to learn the rewarding craft of
stained glass. During this hands-on class, you will learn all the skills necessary to
complete a stained glass panel using the copper foil technique that was developed by
Louis Comfort Tiffany. Each student will complete a 9" x 14" panel, including framing
with a rigid metal border. Every class session is filled with fun as you learn to
select glass,cut & fit, foil, solder, frame and polish your artwork. We don't have to
teach you to admire it and beam with pride, that comes naturally!
Please visit harmony prior to class to select and prepare your pattern.

Pines at Sunset by Paul Messink
|
Harmony is proud to offer another opportunity to learn from an internationally-acclaimed
visiting artist.
Paul Messink is coming to Harmony to teach his glass painting and fusing techniques, combining traditional Reusche with modern vibrant enamels. Using clear glass, Paul paints layers so that genuine
depth is achieved.
Paul uses these skills to create unique compositions in multi-layered glass panels that present nature in deep dimension.
In his own words, "My goal is to draw the viewer into the work of art,
transforming a painting (an historically 2D art form) into something more.
My outdoor subjects often recede into a foggy distance, creating an ethereal, almost ghostly effect.
Each student will make at least four and up to six projects in class. The dimensional projects will be six layers thick to create depth. Paul will teach layering, diminishing size and color, texture, and translucence.

Tuition of $350 includes all materials
Learn to create amazing, adorable and accurate representations of your favorite fur-babies in this two-day mosaic workshop!
For a lot of us, pets play an important and significant role in our lives. Many of us have been lucky enough to have a special pet in our lives and sadly, we've also experienced the sorrow of losing a beloved pet. Without a doubt, the relationship with your pet is a one-of-a-kind bond, unlike any other. Creating a portrait of your pet honors that connection.
This two-day workshop is designed for students with some previous experience. Students should be familiar with glass cutting and mosaic nipping tools.
You will create an 8" x 10" portrait of your pet using stained glass while learning the basic principles of mosaic. Further, you will also learn about tesserae size and shape and how it relates to your mosaic andamento, color value and shading.
Roxana Nizza is an extremely accomplished mosaic artist and teacher. She has a thriving career creating high-end custom residential mosaic installations and has taught many classes in all aspects of glass mosaics. Join us for this unique and creative learning experience!
