Kiln Fired Glass Painting with Alison MacCormaic
A 3 Day Workshop
In this workshop, students will create contemporary grisaille glass panels, a technique that was first developed during the 13th century. Grisaille stained glass is characterised by its use of black on clear glass with limited color, allowing more light to pass through while showcasing fine drawn lines and intricate detail. Students will make drawings of flowers and plants found in the garden at Mulranny Arts or, if they prefer, use photographs and images as references. These drawings will then be transformed into glass-painted pieces using traditional vitreous glass paint, resulting in contemporary depictions of flowers. The completed pieces will be framed and can be hung in a window to be admired against the light.
