996108 E-Class: Sculpting Animals in Soft Glass Beginner with Julie Denton

Julie 1: Sculpting Animals in Soft Glass channel subscription.

This course is designed for beginners in sculpting off-mandrel forms in soft glass. This class is designed by glass master Dr Julie Anne Denton to gently introduce the sculptural beginner to quirky off-mandrel forms in soft glass from the comfort of your own studio. We will learn how to make penguins, elephants, owls, fish and flamingos. These forms will teach the student a variety of techniques including how to “gather”, how to work with scissors and scaled-up “mashers”, how to make use of the “glass tripod” to create a stand for your animal and when to use “hot” and “cold” punties during the making process whilst “auto-annealing” your soft glass sculptures.

By the end of these video tutorials you will feel comfortable and confident making your own, original small-scale sculptures in soft glass without the cracks.

Class includes: x6 groups of video tutorials showing you how to make a fish, an owl, a flamingo, a penguin and an elephant in soft glass. These techniques can also be combined with borosilicate glass. You will also receive a complimentary one-on-one consultation with the maestro to help you through the tricky bits. You can work through this course at your own pace.

Tracey Bell from The Old Kennels teaching facility in Devon, UK, said this about Julie's teaching technique: “JULIE ANNE DENTON has taught two to four day classes at The Old Kennels on a regular basis since early 2007. Her ability and affinity with glass is self-evident in her work, and she has a natural talent for conveying information clearly and concisely to others. Her teaching style is relaxed and her manner calm, even with the most demanding of pupils, making her a popular tutor."
