We had our first session of kiln work today and started some experimental glass staining and stippling. This is almost certainly going to be my area; I feel instinctively most interested and as I discover what the techniques are, I am getting ideas about what I could do. I wonder if my watercolour style could adapt to glass. It's not so immediate since a painted piece has to be fired maybe 5 or 6 times as you build it up layer by layer. Alas, because of the change in timetable I am going to miss the next two sessions so it will be a while before I find out. If only I could do some of the work at home.
