Art for The INN - Interfaith Nutritional Network

I was one of a group of artists that met to make collaged plates to be sold to benefit the INN which runs over 50 shelters and soup kitchens for abused and homeless people here on Long Island. We gathered at the Creative Arts Studio in Sea Cliff, NY, to work.

The Studio.

Making collaged plates is something I've never done before, so, I learned something new. As it happens, I didn't get a very good look at my finished piece because the bottom was still wet when I left. As soon as I get a photo of it, I'll put it up. In the mean time, here are some photos of us working and a few finished pieces.

Making Cloisonne on Dichroic Glass

I just finished taking a 3 day workshop with Julianna Kirk at the Art League of Long Island.

Final shaping of glass.

Finished shapes.

Placing the cloisonne wires.

Ready for the kiln.

Enameling the cloisonnes.

Adding the background glass.

Cutting a groove for the wire wrap.

Finished glass but still needs to be bezeled.

Earring just need ear wires but pendant still needs to be wrapped.
