Colette Langan Workshop:  An Introduction to Glass Painting

The Glass Society of Ireland is made up of people whose interests or professions significantly relate to the specific material of glass.  Drawing from diverse creative and enterprising fields including art, design, craft, research, collecting and the historical context, we are a volunteer-run organisation whose interest in glass provides us with a mutual cause for conversation.It is the primary objective of the Glass Society of Ireland to continue to support established practitioners in Glass whilst fostering new talent. We also aim to create opportunities to communicate with each other and to engage with new audiences. This is achieved through a number of platforms: exhibition-making, holding events such as conferences, workshops and public talks, networking through social media and information distribution through our website, blog and monthly e-bulletin. Through these activities, professional connections are established both nationally and internationally.

Event InformationLearn how to mix glass paint, trace lines and matt in the traditional way for your first piece. You will then have the opportunity to experiment with different types of medium with the paint. All materials and tools are provided though you are welcome to bring a black and white design to trace. Your work will be fired and sent to you which you will be able to make into sun catchers, incorporate into your work, or just leave on your window sill.BiographyColette Langan is a stained glass maker and restorer. She began her career in the UK training on medieval glass from iconic buildings such as Westminster Abbey, Winchester Cathedral and The Tower of London. She later set up her own studio in the North West of Ireland combining making new designs with restoration work.Today as well as conservation, her studio practice includes stained glass design, glass painting, glass fusing techniques, making one off large and small autonomous art works and teaching. She sees education as an important element of her work in both restoration and the creative experience and has turned her attention to the challenge of sustainability in her work practice, using exploratory techniques with an emphasis on reusing glass and in this event will be using off cuts.
