Prerequisite: Hot Glass Level 4 or similar experience
Available spots
Service Description
Class Dates: 6/23 6:30-9:30pm and 6/30 6:30-9:30pm Mica is a natural mineral that adds a luminous sparkle to glass. In sheet form, it can mimic the brilliance of silver leaf; in powder form, it creates a soft, stardust-like shimmer. While generally compatible with soft glass, mica can be a bit tricky to handle and requires careful application. This two-day workshop focuses on safe, effective techniques for using mica in shared studio settings. You’ll learn key precautions, handling methods, and application approaches for mica in sheet, flake, and powder forms. Materials will be provided so you can experiment and create your own sparkling glass piece. Session 1: Demonstration of mica application (powder, flakes, and sheets), followed by hands-on practice. Session 2: Design and create your own piece incorporating mica, applying what you’ve learned.
