Well, I learned alot about power tools in this intensive four day class. I learned how to use a jig saw, band saw, drill press (scary), and belt sander.
My piece is the kingfisher and I still have to make a beaded belt and am not sure whether I will give him a glass eye. The front of the glass is a kingfisher with feathers and crabs around the rim on the front and a salmon and banana slugs on the back of the piece. I wanted the pice to resemble NW tribal art and things I remeber about the Pacific NW. Our class was very informal and I loved how everyone pieces turned out in the class. I convinced my boyfriend, an engineer with no glass experience, to join me. His piece is the great horned owl who now has dichroic beaks on either side and quite lovely large glass eyes. I do hope they make it to Florida in one piece. I hope to submit more pics once they are finished.
I have to give a huge Thank You to Richard. He was so helpful to all of us! I can't wait to do his next workshop.
