Day 1 Involves glazing, wadding, stacking, and bricking up the wood kiln. Day 2. The wood firing starts early morning and continues until cone 10 is reached. Salt/ Soda is introduced into the kiln to produce a vapor which reacts to the silica in the clay body to produce a glaze. Depending on the flow of vapor within the kiln many different affects can be achieved. All by chance, true serendipity. The workshop includes detailed information about the firing process and the history and science behind salt/soda glazing. * Because the salt is actually the glaze the pieces don’t need to be glazed like in a gas or electric firing. * Each Student can potentially have two 12x24 inch shelves and possibly more depending on the size of the pieces. Safety glasses, long sleeves, pants as well as closed toed shoes are recommended for safety.

Each class will be 2 hours long and they may be taken individually or all together as a course, according to the student's needs. Students will learn to develop skills in noticing and understanding interesting subjects, capturing subjects effectively and creatively with a Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) camera, and processing and printing such images with Adobe Photoshop. This course is the beginning of an enormous, indeed lifetime, learning experience and in eight hours students will not become experts. The aim is simply to learn some of the many entry points into deeper learning. The Art of Seeing Eighty percent or more of the impact of a photograph comes from where you chose to stand, where you pointed the camera, how you framed and lit the scene, and when and how you made the exposure. This class introduces ways to recognize striking subjects and to choose how to capture them based on methods of composition employed by visual artists of all kinds. The class is a mixture of theory and practice, reviewing and analyzing photographs and paintings and using a Cardboard Camera to apply these methods in your own backyard. All materials are provided. No prior experience is required.

Despite the fact that stained glass as an art has existed for 1,000 years, it’s not every day that someone brings a piece in to be framed.

    Austin NARI 15th Annual Tour of Remodeled Homes Saturday & Sunday April 7-8, 10-6p Scan on page 3 for full access to the NARI Tour of Remodeled Homes 2018. Letter From The President WELCOME TO THE 15TH ANNUAL AUSTIN NARI TOUR OF REMODELED HOMES 2018! Starting as far back as 2003 when ABC first introduced Extreme Makeover: Home Edition with the lovable Ty Pennington, consumers have been drawn to the dramatic transformations portrayed on television with radical before and after images. From Drew & Scott of the Property Brothers to Chip & Joanna of Fixer Upper, there’s no doubt America loves to see a beautiful home transformation unfold in a matter of days/weeks on an affordable budget. The problem with reality TV shows, however, is there is nothing realistic about what they portray; from unrealistic budgets including donated products and labor being traded for on-air advertisements, to deadlines achieved by multiple trades working on top of each other to finish a job sacrificing quality over appearance. Step inside one of the twelve newly remodeled homes on this year’s Austin NARI Tour of Remodeled Homes executed by nine of the area’s top remodelers to see what the remodeling WE’VE GOT GREAT GLASS! market is really about. From kitchens and baths to outdoor remodels and whole home transformations there is a little of everything to spark your interest and help you draw up ideas for your next remodeling project. Ask us the hard questions about timelines, budgets, and feasibility and you will understand why we are passionate about the remodeling industry and setting up realistic expectations for successful projects.

    Japanning 101. Japanning in a Can, Easy Peasy

    Japanning 101. Japanning in a Can, Easy Peasy For a full discussion on various japanning mixes, quality of finish, durability and tips and techniques for success, refer to my earlier article, Japanning, or The Art of Embracing the Arcane at www.aPlaneLife.us. I highly recommend reading this article before beginning your project to understand the various mixtures and results. Have proper expectations goes a long way toward success. At the request of some readers, this series of articles will serve as a condensed, “how-to” for japanning an antique cast iron hand plane using various japanning products and mixtures. This series will start with the easiest method, commercially available japanning mix. This article will only cover the use of commercially available Rio Grande Asphaltum Varnish, although the tips and techniques should apply equally well to another commercially available pre-mixed japanning, Old PontyPool. I have chosen to focus on the Rio Grande product as I have significant experience using it, and it is very favorably priced compared to Old PontyPool. Affordable, economically sized and delivered to your door, easy. This product delivers a very deep, rich finish. Absolutely beautiful. Rio Grande Jewelers Asphaltum Varnish is available in pint cans online for about $17.00 plus shipping. Old PontyPool is sold by the quart at around $84.00 plus shipping. A pint of asphaltum varnish should cover about 15 size 4 hand planes. Old PontyPool may have more favorable performance, I have not used it, but given a limited shelf life and the quantity sold, I believe more people will be satisfied with the Rio Grande product.

    Chapter 2.6-Porches and Balconies

    HISTORIC RESOURCE DESIGN GUIDELINES CHAPTER 2.6: PORCHES AND BALCONIES CITY OF SANTA BARBARA CHApteR 2.6: PORches AND BALconies INTRODUCTION Historic porch and balcony design, scale, and detail vary with the architectural style of the building. Victorian porches were often ex- tensively detailed, extending the entire length of the building and supported by large columns. In contrast, other styles such as Span- ish Colonial and English Revival may not have a porch, but rather an overhang over the front door. Many Mediterranean or Monterey Revival historic resources also do not have porches, but have front façade balconies as one of the main featured elements. Historically, residential porches, stoops, porticos, terraces, entrance courtyards, porte cocheres, patios, and verandas provided sheltered outdoor liv- ing space in the days before reliable climate control. They defined a semi-public area to mediate between the public street areas and the private area within the home. They also provided an architectural focus to help define entry ways and allow for the development of architectural detail. Typically, areas covered by a porch, including windows, doors, and wall surfaces, tend to require less maintenance than other more exposed areas of the house. The shade provided by porches can reduce energy bills. However, steps, railings, and roofs are usually exposed to the weather and may require additional main- Porches are a common feature of many turn-of-the-century houses in Santa Barbara, including these in the West Downtown Neighborhood. tenance. Porch design, scale, and detail vary widely between architec- tural styles. To determine what elements are particularly important on your porch, consult the architectural styles appendix of these Guidelines or contact the Architectural Historian for a consultation.
