3 D Aquarelle with Emma Varga

3-D AQUARELLE FUSING - MASTER CLASS

Instructor Emma Varga

During this class, Emma will introduce her original method of fusing and casting multiple layers of glass, which she has been exploring and developing, with great success, for past 25 years. This innovative technique enables fusing/casting of thin glass sheets used to set up layers composed of tiny mosaic-like elements, thus achieving three-dimensional images inside the transparent fused/cast sculptural object.

This course will focus on a new approach to three-dimensional thinking in the creation of glass objects, emphasizing the use of glass properties to achieve visual effects and convey a sense of movement within cast glass forms.

Students are not required to have previous experience in glass fusing. Beginners will be able, along with students possessing advanced glass fusing skills, to create and finalize their own 3-dimensional glass objects during 5-day course.

At all times during the course, students will have access to extensive digital gallery on file in Emma’s laptop: images of recent work as well as close-ups revealing fine details on layers inside the glass object. Expect to discover an exciting new method of creating images within transparent 3-dimensional glass objects.

Firing schedules for fused/cast objects are a very important part of this course and will be thoroughly explained, along with guidelines for creating firing schedules for each type and size of fused/cast objects.

Additionally, students will receive basic theoretical information about grinding and polishing 3-D glass objects.
