NEW!: THE AMAZING ROLL-UP
Mon-Fri, August 4 - 8, 9 am - 5 pm
Instructors: Greg Lueck & Matthew Stewart
In collaboration with Firehouse 12, Bullseye has organized a 5-day introduction to this amazing furnace-less blowing method. Yes, with just a kiln and a glory hole it is possible to bring 2-dimensional kilnformed panels into the third dimension. Developed in Australia at the Canberra School of Art, having toured the world, the phenomenal Aussie Roll-Up has come home to roost in the Pacific Northwest.

NEW!: EXPANDING THE KILNFORMING PALETTE
Mon-Wed, August 4 - 6, 10 am - 5 pm
Instructor: Roger Thomas
Working from a set of palette tile references (that students will learn to assemble) Roger Thomas creates impressionistic imagery in glass. Renowned for having it all backwards, Roger builds his images with a reverse-layering method. He works face down (the glass, not Roger) on the kiln shelf, creating atmospheric scenes with unparalleled depth and luminosity.

BEYOND TECHNIQUE: THE GLASS SKETCH
Mon-Tue, Aug 4 - 5, 10 am - 5 pm
Wed, Aug 6, 10 am - Noon
Instructor: Ted Sawyer & Guest Artists
Clear glass, black and clear powders, frits, stringers, a little sheet glass
- this class is designed to minimize the superficial distractions of the
material while the student learns the nuances of composition, texture, and
all the subtle possibilities that are too often lost in the rush to color,
flash and tricks. Visits by practicing artists who work with these simple
but powerful methods will augment the class exercises.
