Last year I held a really fun class where we made these:
This is a glass block that has been drilled at the back to insert a string of mini lights. The front was primed, stamped and coloured in with inks.
Isn't it beautiful?
In addition to teaching the class, I made several to give as gifts to our family. And I took orders for them already done for people who didn't have the time to make their own - you know how crazy busy December can get.
Back by popular demand, I am offering the glass block class again! I don't have this beautiful church stamp anymore, so I am working on another plan...
This one uses the resist etching technique. This technique creates a clouded glass finish but leaves the lines of the stamped images in the transparent glass. I used the Holy Triptych set. I really like this block and feel the photo doesn't do it justice. The cord that the mini lights is really showing up in this photo, for some reason, but alas, my photography skills aren't good enough to eliminate that. I probably took a dozen pictures at different angles with different settings.... I hope you get the idea.
So, this year's glass block class is coming up in December on the 12th and you get to choose to come for the afternoon class from 1 - 3:30 or the evening class from 7 - 9:30. When you register, I also need to know if you'd like to do the stamped and coloured block or the etched block, so that I have the materials prepped. The cost of the class is $30.
If you would love to give these as gifts this year, but cannot make the class, I would be happy to take orders for them, the cost is $30 each. I will deliver to these areas: Palmerston, Drayton, Listowel, Elmira, St. Jacobs, Heidelberg, Kitchener, Waterloo, Guelph, Elora and Fergus and areas in between. If you are beyond this area, please add $10 for shipping.
Looking forward to hearing from you - let me know what you think of these projects!
