What You'll Learn:

Advanced Stencil Work with Powders: Dive into multi-stencil designs, pattern stacking, stencil shifting, feathering edges, and more. We'll even show you our foolproof technique for easy stencil removal, even if your hands aren't the steadiest!
Glass Powder Mastery: Explore the intricate interplay of different colors, learn how to mix and match colors to create your own unique palettes, and discover various powder sifting styles and when to use them.
Powder Gapping with Surface Tension: Achieve the signature design element of traditional batik by creating vibrant designs against rich, deep backdrops. Learn to use your kiln and glass's unique properties to achieve this effect, making even the lightest colors "pop" against the darkest backgrounds.
