RECORDED LINK Susan Hirsch Into the Woods
In this webinar, you’ll learn how to create a stunning four-layer, enamel filled fused glass forest scene with detailed imagery.
Each step will be shown in detail as Susan takes you through the process of applying photomask on glass, sandblasting, and filling the engraved areas with fusible enamels. She will demonstrate how the background is made by sifting glass powders with a silkscreen, a great way to create beautiful blends and effects.
