Studio School of Art and Glass- Beta Students Wanted (Special Price Inside)

Published 7 months ago • 1 min read

Hi, Reader,

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! ☘️

Since this week celebrates Ireland’s patron saint, it feels like a good day to talk about painted stained glass. For centuries, Irish churches have told stories through painted glass.

You too can start telling stories in painted glass! My first online course, Painting on Glass with a Microwave Kiln, is finally finished. It’s a companion to the grisaille (not the color or decals) section of my book, and I’m looking for a small group of beta students to try it out.

Beta students get the course at a discount ($127 instead of $197). The only thing I ask in return is that you watch the whole course and give me feedback for each module.

You’ll also get a 14-day trial period before you’re charged, so you can explore it first.

I surprised myself with how much work went into building this course-writing scripts, filming, editing, and uploading everything to the learning platform.

But I’m excited to share this fast method of traditional glass painting with more people.

If you’ve ever admired medieval stained glass and wondered how those painted lines and textures were made, this class shows you a practical way to start.

Hi, Reader, I am a fan of Dolly Parton and French chef Jacques Pepin. First Jacques Pepin. I have a lot to say about Dolly later. Interestingly Pepin is a chef and a painter. Here is a piece of wisdom from him about cooking and painting. “When I cook in the kitchen, there is a certain freedom of being a professional chef,” he extols. “You taste, you adjust; you taste, you adjust. And then the food kind of takes ahold of you. Similarly, when I start a painting, very often I don’t really know...

Hi, Reader, I hope you and yours are well. It's May 31, and I am well. We just adopted two gray kittens, so now we have 5 cats, 2 birds, and 1 rabbit. One is never alone in my house. As of yet unnamed kittens My studio is getting a facelift! Here is the work in progress. The metal siding looks so much better. What I Have Not Been Doing I have not been working with glass the last couple of months. I don't exactly know why. But I have been drawing, a lot. Part of me is planning to use some of...

Hi, Reader, Ever have contact with the spiritual world? Most people have at least one story of a bizarrely synchronous event or uncanny "communication" coming from the other side. Before I begin my story, I want to let you know I am looking for obscure drawing techniques for a new class. If you know of any, please let me know. Here's my ghost story. An old dear friend of my family, Raymond Petersen, taught botany at Howard University. He mentored me on a school science fair project, "The...
