Creating Glass Photographs: Two-part Workshop with Artist Sara Greenberger Rafferty

Creating Glass Photographs: Two-part Workshop with Artist Sara Greenberger Rafferty

Presented by Carnegie Museum of Art and Fallingwater and Pittsburgh Glass Center at Pittsburgh Glass Center

This immersive master class is designed for creatives and artists with established practices who are seeking to expand their skill set. Creatives who are novices to glass processes are welcome. Participants will be guided through the creative process of transferring photographic images to glass and will create two works as part of the instruction.

After a day spent in the lush Fallingwater landscape, join glass artist Becky Smith along with Rafferty in the studio at Pittsburgh Glass Center for a group discussion and hands-on workshop to learn two different processes for transferring your images to glass. You'll cut, manipulate, and layer sheet glass and apply a variety of glass materials to enhance and distort your photographs. Learn all about image transfer and the kiln-firing process as you create 2-4 finished pieces.
