will also improve your MIG skills, and spend more time on grinding, polishing,
finishing and patinas. Bring ideas for a small project and you'll walk home
with it. Remember--this is a real, live, active, working shop. You will

This is a
rare opportunity to learn Audrey's own unique style of pate de verre, which is
described as alive with energy and effervescent shapes that evoke emotion -
just like Audrey herself!
Pate de verre
is an ancient and widely varied art form using glass powders and frits melted,
fused, and cast at different and specific temperatures to achieve a variety of
results in glass. Although her own style is to work intuitively, Audrey will
provide a solid base of technical information and a straightforward approach
that can easily be accomplished in the studio. Students will learn how to
create two open faced bowl forms.
Instructor : Audrey Wilson
Dates : Thursdays in March (14,
