What You Will Learn
Investigate the power of lines in your glass work with this three-session online course, learning from renowned glass artist Bob Leatherbarrow.
Lines are a powerful design element. They separate regions within and guide your eye around, a composition. Yet creating crisp, clean, and controlled lines has been a challenge for artists working with kiln-formed glass.

Class Description
This 3-session class will cover a range of different techniques. Learn six ways to create intricate, precise, and predictable patterns of straight, elegantly curved, or gestural lines. Discover how to make these lines join, intersect, and branch seamlessly. Create fine-coloured edges along the rim of slumped pieces that accentuate the shape of the bowl.
Techniques outlined in this workshop can be incorporated into your favourite style to improve the composition and design of your piece.

How it Works:
We believe that this is the best way to get the very most from the course, but if this doesn’t suit you that’s fine: - If you can’t get to your studio, you can still learn the techniques and benefit from Bob's extensive knowledge without making the pieces during the course itself.
This is a live online masterclass, but in case a student experiences issues with internet connection during the live class, a recording of each live session will be available to view until two weeks after the final session. This cannot be downloaded or shared and is only available for this limited time. By participating you agree to be recorded for this purpose.
These recordings will be available in the course navigations panel.
