Is it a relic from the past? A forgotten treasure from the attic?
This beautiful glass and metal journal will be treasured for years, especially when filled with your original artwork or writing.
In this class,students will create a larger version (approx. 6" x 8" x 2") of my glass and metal journal with its unique "no-sew" binding. Vintage photos on transparencies float behind baroque-swirled, stained glass and are held in place by a torch and patina altered, hardware-intensive, frame of copper plumber's tape.
The cover and spine of this book is completely fabricated "from scratch" by the students. Add some chain and a few beads and charms, even bring your own personalized transparency (5" x 7") to make this book uniquely your own.
Techniques taught include cutting, torching, and alteration of metal with chemical patinas, as well as my original binding which, once mastered, can be adapted to make books in many different sizes and from other materials.
A $25 kit/supply fee will include: detailed instruction book, stained glass, printed transparencies, hardware, chain, beads, bead-pins, jump-rings, patina, clear coat, copper plumber's tape, and copper wire.
*If you have dietary restrictions, you are welcome to bring your lunch. There is a refrigerator and microwave on the premises.
