Hello Everyone,
There are still some open spaces for my class at Penland this summer. It will be a wonderfully active & engaging class. We will work through pounds upon pounds of colored borosilicate glass, to learn many many ways to apply color, to understand the how's and why's of different colors, and to make beautiful objects. I have used heaps of color in my work over the last ten years. I am excited to teach anything & everything I know, from the simplest gathering techniques, to clean straight-forward color layering to intricate patchwork design.
Penland is a fantastic environment for learning. With well equipped studios, three wonderful meals a day, , and a thriving community of artists from all media to interact with in a gorgeous setting, it is a truly inspiring place.
feel free to contact me if you have any questions about the class. the class description is below. Happy flameworking to you all!

Session 3
June 27 - July 9
Christopher McElroy - The Bright in the Dark
When stepping into the world of flameworked borosilicate glass, artists must navigate through a veritable sea of colors to discover the ones that best suit their work. This class will focus on understanding and working with colored borosilicate glass. Demonstrations and discussions will include a myriad of blown and solid color applications, flame atmosphere, kilning, and color theory. Students should bring sketchbooks, ideas, and an inclination to explore. At least one year of experience with flameworked borosilicate required. Code 03gb
Studio artist; teaching: Red Deer College (Canada), Kyoto University of Art and Design (Japan); exhibitions: Missoula Art Museum (MT), Traver Gallery (Seattle), Public Glass (San Francisco).
