Tiny Glass and Copper Journal
Sunday 9 - 4:30 $145 Thomas Ashman
Student Level: All
Type of Workshop: Process and Project
Prerequisite: None
Do good things really come in small packages? Well this tiny little glass and copper journal is jam-packed with charm and will be a treasure once filled with your photos, writing, or art. Students fabricate "from scratch" a 4" x 3" glass and copper journal. I just love the way the vintage photo transparencies look with the metal but the images on the front and back covers are entirely up to you, just bring 4 transparency images 2"x3". I will even give you a few other design choices as you construct this smaller version of my original all-metal binding and book spine. We attach the copper and baroque swirled glass covers with delightfully rusted hardware. Just a few of the things you will be learning are: glass cutting, alteration of metal with torch and patina, hardware, hand tools and safety, simple metal fabrication, wire wrapping, basic book binding terminology, and lots of other cool tips and tricks for a mixed media artist!
