This is a Private Class listing for Stained Glass with Jane Kunkler. If you'd like to book a private class with any of our instructors, please visit our Book A Private Class page!
Students who have completed our beginning series may continue their enameling journey in this intermediate series.
We will work with crackle enamels, stringers and lumps, and overglazes to create unique patterns and finishes. Painting with liquid enamels will give students a chance to include their individual artistic talents and expand their control of color mixing. These can all be used in combination with techniques learned in the beginning series, and layering of colors to create depth and interest will be encouraged. We will also be learning about more advanced techniques, such as champleve, basse-taille, and plique-a-jour, as time permits.
This class is currently SOLD OUT. If you'd like to schedule a private class for at least two people, please feel free to submit a request with our Book a Private Class form!
Learn basic watercolor skills while creating some lovely small pieces you can frame! You'll learn fundamental techniques to make the water work for you. We'll explore how to make soft, blended colors and bright, bold strokes. A great way to determine whether watercolor is for you!
