Echoes: Interconnections between Metal and Glass
“The Sun” Glass Tarot by Laura Mochales Matte, 2025. Stained glass, enamels, 4" x 6".
In this workshop, we will explore the fluid boundaries between metal and glass through the process of enameling. Participants will learn foundational techniques: preparing copper and glass forms, sifting and applying enamel, painting, and firing, while exploring how these processes can move fluidly across materials. Through a series of small projects, you will investigate how visual language shifts between scales and disciplines, and how new connections emerge when techniques are allowed to travel between realms. All levels welcome.
