Bullseye Glass Co. / Classes & Special Events Bullseye Glass Co. | Classes & Special Events May to September 2012 • Emeryville, California From the Director Artist Klaus Moje at Resource Center Portland, 2007. What is Kiln-Glass? In 1974 three self-described “hippie glassblowers” started Bullseye Glass Company, a small factory for making specialty sheet glass in Portland, Oregon. While they initially focused on making colored sheets for use in stained glass, they aspired to do what had never been done before: to produce a palette of colored glasses tested to be compatible for fusing with one another for producing works in the kiln. By 1979 they had succeeded, but immediately ran into a challenge: they had created something remarkable for which almost no demand existed. Ever the innovators, they decided to embark on a long-term program of research projects working directly with artists to help pioneer and expand the technical, 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 radically more accessible than many other working methods, such as glassblowing, in which one must first develop 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, color theory, and the ability to conceive of layers of process and material application. And while kiln-glass does require basic knowledge of technical issues and nuances, these are readily obtained in short order through publications and curriculum that have been developed as an outgrowth of Bullseye’s years of collaboration with artists. 2 From the Director Bullseye in the Bay Area Bullseye staff and visiting instructors have offered kiln-glass curriculum through classes, lectures, and demonstrations at our Resource Center in Portland since the mid-1990s. We have done the same on a national and international basis working with studios, schools, museums and universities from New York to Seattle, and from Australia to Scotland. It is now our great privilege and pleasure to be opening a Bullseye Resource Center in the Bay Area in which we will provide students with inspiring and informative curriculum for working with kiln-glass. We will teach even the most basic skills and information at the highest level possible, giving students a comprehensive experience that encompasses fundamental to advanced techniques as well as theory, practice, craft, design and art. At Bullseye, we won’t just teach you how to do something; we’ll explain how we’ve arrived at specific methods in our decades of research into processes, products and equipment. The Resource Center Bay Area is scheduled to open in mid-April. Classes and events will begin in May, including a number of entry-level courses and a lecture introducing the Artists of Bullseye Gallery. From June to September we’ll keep offering basic workshops while also bringing established and emerging artists, including Alicia Lomné, Carrie Iverson, Stacy Smith and Catharine Newell, to lead workshops, lectures and demonstrations. And we’re already planning for October and beyond. If you have any questions about classes or events on the schedule, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us using the contact information on page 4. If you live nearby or are planning to visit the Bay Area, make a point to come to the Resource Center to see our classroom facilities, check out examples of class projects, and learn more about our education programs. We look forward to seeing you soon. Ted Sawyer Director of Research & Education 3 General Information Classes Bullseye classes may be offered more than once.

This presentation will provide an overview of many kiln-glass working methods including fusing, slumping, creating painterly imagery in glass, kilncasting and coldworking. Slides of finished works will augment a series of abbreviated step-by-step demonstrations of the basics of each method. Jeremy Scidmore | May 5 (EVB712-0001) | Saturday 2pm–4pm The Artists of Bullseye Gallery Bullseye gallerist Michael Endo will present a talk and slide presentation surveying contemporary studio glass by discussing a cross-section of artists represented by Bullseye Gallery, from acknowledged masters to emerging voices. Michael Endo | May 12 (EVB723-0001) | Saturday 2pm–3pm 6 Special Events: Artist Talks Alicia Lomné: Pâte de Verre Alicia Lomné will show images of her work and working methods and demonstrate a variety of processes used in the creation of her surprisingly large, thin-walled, carefully colored forms. She will touch on model making, mold construction, color mixing, inlay design, texture control, firing cycles and coldworking, while discussing her motivations for working in this process-intensive manner. June 27 (EVB734-0001) | Wednesday 6pm–7pm Carrie Iverson Artist Carrie Iverson, who is best known as a printmaker and painter, will demonstrate printmaking methods that she has developed for transferring images from a Xerox or laser print onto glass. She will also share images of her kiln-glass work and discuss her influences. July 18 (EVB736-0001) | Wednesday 6pm–7pm Stacy Lynn Smith Stacy Lynn Smith will demonstrate the powder printing technique she developed in her studio practice, which involves traditional screen printing methods, but replaces ink with powdered glass and heat. She will also show images of her works on paper and kiln-glass and provide a sneak preview of her current projects. August 1 (EVB730-0001) | Wednesday 6pm–7pm Catharine Newell Join artist Catharine Newell as she shares images of her work, discusses her influences, and demonstrates her working methods for making everything from extremely gestural experimental studies to highly resolved images through stacking multiple layers of glass. September 5 (EVB701-0001) | Wednesday 6pm–7pm From top: Alicia Lomné, Veiled Green, 2006. Carrie Iverson, class samples, 2011. Stacy Lynn Smith, class sample, 2012. Catharine Newell, Next VII, 2006. 7 Classes Basic Kilncast Glass This class is a rich introduction to kilncasting glass with hand- built refractory molds. As a student, you will complete four projects. These will include a bas relief casting and three castings made with different forms of glass (frit, powder, and billet) to illustrate the unique qualities of each form. You will learn fundamental coldworking skills as well as firing procedures and investment mold recipes. No prerequisites. Jeremy Scidmore | June 15–16 & 18 (CLB103-0001) | Friday–Saturday, Monday 9am–5pm | 8 students | $350 Basic Kilnformed Pattern Bars The pattern bar is a special method that allows for creating unique and complex designs in kilnformed glass. In this workshop, you will learn to use glass flow and multiple firings to break away from the flatness of sheet glass and into the realm of dimensional, organic patterning. You will design and make pattern bars, cut them up on the wet saw, fuse them into blanks, do some basic coldworking, and ultimately leave the class with three unique finished plates. Prerequisites: Basic glass cutting skills and kilnforming experience.

The team aimed to capture and preserve the sounds of traditional studio glassmaking, and then to share them outside the workshop domain through digital technologies and glass art objects. The goal was also to fulfill a public engagement grant from the Royal Academy of Engineering to highlight the engineering through the art and the engineers’ vision within the art making. The team recorded and isolated the unique sounds of the glassblowing process and its studio environment, and then used the resulting digital sound collection as the foundation for developing artistic outputs: a virtual instrument library, a glass object-instrument of performance, a series of glass objects translating selected virtual instruments, and a music composition. They questioned the nature and materiality of glass through dialogue between media and conversation among team members, while exploring the practice-based research question: “How can we embed our recorded sounds of the glassmaking process back into the glass itself?” This paper focuses on the collaborative, interdisciplinary making process of the team, the project outputs, and the metaphorical language that was a key process facilitation tool.

    Understanding Firing Schedules Learn about the components of a glass fi ring schedule so you can create your own schedule for any project you want to try. BASICS – Ramp - Temperature - Hold HEATWORK – Time/Temperature Tango. COE – how it aff ects fi ring schedules. VISCOSITY – how it aff ects fi ring schedules. THICKNESS– how it aff ects fi ring schedules PREDICTION - ending accidents. ANNEALING – how and why EVENIVITY– the magic word. VOLUME CONTROL SPECIAL SCHEDULES for special eff ects. My Personal Promise The temperatures and times I refer to here for fi ring schedules are not guesswork and are not copied from comments of others. There are the result of 40 years working as a glass artisan and over 20,000 kiln fi rings. I made it a point to do comparison tests to rigid standard.
