“Through the Seasons” Glass Panel Workshop with Diane Enger

In this class we will be creating a 6x9 inch panel that depicts the changing seasons. We will design our panel flat using glass paint and a variety of glass frits and powders. We will put this in the kiln and heat it up to what is called a tac fuse. This leaves a lot of texture on the surface of the glass and this reflects lots of light as it passes through the glass. Our piece is then fired a second time over a mold to round it off a bit, making it able to stand on its own.

This workshop is for all skill levels. Limited space is available. Please register early.

Diane Enger started her glass journey working in stained glass, switched to fusing, and has been fusing glass for over 30 years. After receiving a master’s degree in art, she taught art in the Illinois Public School System, Kindergarten through Junior College, as well as gifted classes for 26 years. Diane chose to retire with her husband to the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains in North Carolina. She now finally has the time to be a full-time artist and fused glass teacher.

Glass fusing is a process of combining different glasses and components and heating them in a kiln. By manipulating time and temperature, different depths and surfaces can be created. She says her art is about reflection and contrast; to create visual pieces that give form to her thoughts and observations, using glass and the variety of textures that can be created using it. This combination creates a flow of designs intended to portray her reflections on life – external and internal. She hopes that her work inspires you to take time to reflect…
