This workshop is a comprehensive introduction to powder printing, a process that combines glass powders with traditional screen-printing techniques. We will open up a world of possibilities to explore, including developing new and expansive glass color palettes, creating intricate 2D designs and bold imagery and creating 3D work with compelling depth and texture using mulitple layers of glass powders. This workshop will cover analog approaches to the process, using easily accessible techniques with simple tools and materials to create work that belies the humble nature of this approach. We will also explore technologically based approaches to the process, translating digital imagery and designs into glass. This workshop will share the awesome potential of powder printing and provide a sound foundation for those looking for a highly accessible approach to printing with glass and those who wish to pursue more advanced or technologically driven techniques in the process.
