    From the Director

    Welcome to the MarchSeptember 2012 schedule of classes and events at the Bullseye Resource Centers in

    Portland and Santa Fe. In the following pages you will find, among many other great opportunities, EIGHT

    new and expanded classes led by talented members of the Research & Education team as well as emerging

    and established artists. Where have these classes come from? Fundamentally, they have come from people

    who, through the course of doing research and/or making their work, have developed ideas and methods

    that they would like to share in order to expand the aesthetic territory of the methods that we call kiln-

    glass. Why so many all at once? We promise we havent been hoarding. A lot of things have simply come

    together more or less at the same time, and our enthusiasm for the re sults has propelled us to launch this

    new wave of workshops. Youll find them on the pages marked New Classes. (Tricky, huh?)

    In the world of Special Events, we are delighted to welcome Klaus Moje to Portland in early April for a

    conversation with Bullseye partners Daniel Schwoerer and Lani McGregor, in which the three will discuss

    how their relationship has influenced the trajectory of an artists career, a companys mission, and the field

    of glass. Portland will also host lectures with Michael Endo, Emily Nachison, and Heike Brachlow. Dont

    worry Santa Fe; weve got you covered too. Look for lectures from Martha Pfanschmidt, Alicia Lomn, andStacy Lynn Smith.

    If looking through this schedule makes you wish you could simply brush up on some kiln-glass basics before

    taking a more advanced class, or you dont see an appropriate course, consider our online education

    program. Our convenient videos allow you to learn in your own studio, at your own speed, on your own

    schedule, and review information as often as you f ind necessary. For more information, visit:

    bullseyeglass.com/education/online.

    Whether the classes you take are online or in person, our educational mission is to provide you with

    inspiring and informative curriculum for working with kiln-glass. We teach even the most basic skills

    and information at the highest level possible, offering a comprehensive experience that encompassesfundamental to advanced techniques as well as theory, practice, craft, design and art. At Bullseye, we

    wont just teach you how to do something; we explain how weve arrived at specific methods in our

    decades of research into processes, products and equipment.

    If you have any questions about classe s or events on the schedule, or are looking for something that

    you dont see on this schedule, please dont hesitate to contact us using the contact information on the

    Registration page. If you live near one of our Resource Centers or are planning to visit Portland or Santa

    Fe, make a point to come see our classroom facilities, check out class projects in person, and learn more

    about our education programs.

    What is Kiln-glass?

    In 1974 three self-described hippie glassblowers started Bullseye Glass Company, a small factoryfor making specialty sheet glass in Portland, Oregon. While they initially focused on making coloredsheets for use in stained glass, they aspired to do what had never been done before: to producea palette of colored glasses tested to be compatible with one another for producing works in the

    kiln. By 1979 they had succeeded, but immediately ran into a challenge: they had created somethingremarkable for which almost no demand existed. Ever the innovators, they decided to embark on along-term program of research projects working directly with artists to help pioneer and expand thetechnical, aesthetic and conceptual development of the field that is today known as kiln-glass.

    Kiln-glass is a term that describes an enormous range of techniques and outcomes that are radicallymore accessible than many other working methods, such as glassblowing, in which one must firstdevelop basic physical skills for years before being able to effectively realize well-executed works.By contrast, many of the skills required for kiln-glass are things that most artists already possess:an understanding of design, composition and color theory, and the ability to conceive of layers ofprocess and material application. And while kiln-glass does require basic knowledge of technicalissues and nuances, these are readily obtained in short order through publications and curriculumthat have been developed as an outgrowth of Bullseyes years of collaboration with artists.

    Bullseye staff and visiting instructors have offered this curriculum through classes, lectures, anddemonstrations at our Resource Center in Portland since the mid-1990s. We have done the same ona national and international basis working with studios, schools, museums and universities fromNew York to San Francisco, and from Australia to Scotland, and more recently in our first satelliteResource Center in Santa Fe.

    Klaus Moje and Bullseye Glass: A Conversation

    In the mid1970s, Klaus Moje helped to resurrect the ancient art of fusing when he began to cut upmulti-colored rods of glass normally used for making buttons in the garment industry and madethem into mosaics that he fired in a kiln. Shortly thereafter, he met the founders of Bullseye Glass,who promised to make him a palette of fusible sheet glasses to use in his practice. Learn more aboutthose halcyon days from the players themselves as Klaus Moje and Daniel Schwoerer talk abouttheir first encounters and the ensuing relationship that helped define the trajectories of the artist,the company, and the field of kiln-glass. Moderated by Lani McGregor.

    New Classe s

    Collected Images and Powder Printing

    Explore the powder printing method developed by Stacy Lynn Smith to create imagery and texturein kiln-glass. This technique uses traditional screen printing methods, but replaces ink and paperwith glass and heat. Students will learn image preparation, design possibilities and firing optionsthrough various hands-on projects, demonstrations and examples. Building on this foundation, Smithwill lead an exploration of her creative process, sharing her methodology by taking the class into the

    field to gather visual information from around Portland. Much as in Smiths own work, the collectedephemera will ultimately be used to create a final project. Prerequisite: Basic glass cutting skills.

    Bas Relief Pte de Verre

    In this short course, learn to use pte de verre (paste of glass) techniques of packing glass powdersand frit into refractory molds to make low relief works that straddle the line between pictorial andsculptural. Starting with a simple tile, you will explore mold making, color placement and texture.You will then move on to a larger piece that will have the volume and depth of 3-dimensional workbut use only a fraction of the material used in other kilncasting methods while allowing for greater

    precision in the placement of color. There are no prerequisites, back a background in working withclay or sculpture is useful.

    Portland | Trevor Koch | June 89 & 11 (CL0221-0001) | Friday & Saturday 9am5pm,Monday 9am1pm | 8 students | $350

    Advanced Painting with Glass

    As a student in this class, you will have the opportunity to create multi-layered works that go beyondbasic frits and powders and begin to address the unique properties and opportunities that glassprovides when used in a painterly manner. Artistic concerns such as composition, complex color, line,value and transparency/opacity will be discussed as they relate to glass. There are no prerequisites,but students who have taken any of the following workshops will be better prepared to take full

    advantage of this class: Painting With Glass (see page 18), A Particulate Language, Beneath theSurface, Layered Assemblage, Painterly Figures, Drawing with Glass, or The Glass Sketch.

    Portland | Michael Endo | April 2730 (CL0220-0001) | FridaySunday 11am6pm,Monday 9am1pm | 8 students | $450

    More Pattern Bars

    In this course, you will explore three pattern bar methods that are different from those coveredin our Basic Kilnformed Pattern Bars class (see page 15). These range from developing controlledinternal imagery like letters and simple graphics to reaching into the kiln and manipulating thebars during the initial forming process. Whether youve worked with similar methods before or not,this class will challenge your notions of what can be achieved in glass as you explore the physicalproperties of the material and new ways to conceive of, execute and use pattern bars. Prerequisites:Basic glass cutting skills and kilnforming experience.

    New Classes

    Relief Print Methods Adapted to Kilncast Glass

    The traditional relief printmaking process involves making multiple copies of an image by printinginks onto paper from the high points of an incised block of wood or linoleum. In this class, youwill carve imagery into blocks and then use the blocks to make refractory molds for kilncastingrelief imagery in glass. The effects of mark making, color placement, opacity vs. transparency andthickness will be explored. You will leave class with numerous pieces as well as the blocks used tomake them, and enough knowledge and experience to continue working with this process on yourown. There are no prerequisites, but previous kilnforming experience is recommended.

    Designing and Using Part Sheets

    Working with a palette of glass frits, powders and stringers, learn to create custom sheets of artglass called part sheets that can be cut up and incorporated into fusing projects. On the first dayof this workshop, you will make three part sheets, using a different approach for each one. On thesecond day, youll explore technical and design issues while combining your part sheets with otherglass materials to make three plates. Leave the class with new methods, three plates, and (in alllikelihood) part sheets scraps to use in future works. Prerequisites: Introduction to Fusing andSlumping, or Survey of Kiln-glass, or strong glass cutting skills and basic kilnforming experience.

    Slumping Survey

    Slumping is the bending or shaping of glass into or over a mold in a kiln. This basic kiln-glass methodcan be used to create plates, vessels and a variety of forms. In this class you will be guided andinspired as you explore the possibilities during hands-on studio time. Working from a collectionof samples, you will use varied approaches to complete a well-unified table setting consistingof a plate, a bowl, and an accessory such as a tray.

    Introduction to Fusing and Slumping

    Fusing is the heat bonding of glass elements such as sheets, frits and stringers. Slumping is the

    shaping or bending of glass into or over a mold. These methods are fundamental to kilnforming andare gateways to many advanced methods. In this class, you will be introduced to both fusing andslumping through demonstrations and discussions about the forms of art glass, mold materials,kilns, and firing schedules. During hands-on work time, you will learn to cut glass (including circlesand curves) and will design, compose, and fire two fused and slumped plates. No prerequisites.

    Vitrigraph Cane and Murrini

    For hundreds of years, making richly patterned and cased glass canes has largely been the provinceof the hotshop. Perhaps the most famous people making such canes have been the glassblowers ofMurano, set in Italys Venetian Lagoon. But now similar canes can be made far away from roaringItalian furnaces, using the Vitrigraph kiln and Bullseye compatible glasses. In this workshop, youwill design and make multi-colored canes and incorporate them with other forms of glass into

    several kilnformed projects. Creating the canes will involve handling and manipulating hot, moltenglass. Proper safety equipment will be provided. No prerequisites.
