I have been working with the UofU Lifelong Learning to create some exciting classes for the Fall Semester. I will have these classes up for registration in a few weeks. Click here for my teaching schedule.

Here is your sneak peek.... Classes will be posted mid July. So check back soon as my classes fill quickly.

Gelli Monoprinting
Dates: Mondays, Sept. 18th - Oct. 2nd.
Right now, I'm inviting you to join us in this unique creative experience. We will be learning the basics of monprinting using a Gel Printing Plate, acrylic paints, stencils and many other materials. 
The gel plate looks and feels like gelatin, but is durable, reusable and stores at room temperature. It's easy to clean and always ready for printing. Monoprinting on a Gelli plate is simple and fun. The gratification is immediate, and the prints are too cool! We will find stimulating uses to incorporate our prints into works of art. 
Monoprinting is a beginner friendly form of printmaking that has lines or images that can only be made once, unlike most printmaking, where there are multiple originals. There are many techniques of monoprinting. 

Strip Cut Glass Jewelry
Dates: Mondays Oct. 30th - Nov. 20th
This kiln formed fusing glass class in a measure of pleasure and a great way for beginners to learn about the kiln forming glass process. We will discuss materials, firing schedules and other important glass techniques. Get ready to enjoy making small sculptures to adorn your person. 
​

I am looking forward to heading back to CMOC this Summer with Kari. I wanted to share the class information to my people so that you don't miss this amazing opportunity.

​I will be helping out the students to get whatever they need for the class and be available to Kari for any of her needs. It would be great to see some of my friends there as well. Hope you will join us for some glass fun.

​Best-
Sarinda

Kari's Minnick's Class description

​Date:  June 12 - 17, 2017
Season Summer: Technique Kiln Working
Level: All Levels
Duration: One-Week SessionThe surface is the entry to a work of art. It can stop you in your tracks or lead a viewer into the layers below. It’s the part you want to touch. Using unusual applications of Bullseye sheet glass, powder, stringer and frit, in conjunction with multiple firings, you will learn strategies to enable rich textural surfaces and depth for fused glass.
Gritty, slick, or robust relief, kiln-forming materials and processes afford us exceptional textural and tactile qualities. Utilizing wet and dry powder processes, and combinations of glasses, students will create a variety of surface textures. Through the careful order of firings and observation of the effects of heat work, they will attain and maintain a diversity of desired textures on panel surfaces. Detailed firing schedules and layering strategies and will be explored. Color, composition, opacity and transparency will be considered. This highly creative and hands-on course is of interest to kiln glass workers as well as artists of other media.
