Float Glass and Enamel Painting Workshop
About the Course:
Join local fused glass artist Paz Cardone for a hands-on workshop where you’ll learn the basics of working with recycled float (window) glass and create your own one-of-a-kind window decoration using vibrant glass enamels. No experience needed—just bring your creativity! Participants will be introduced to enamel painting techniques and will complete a beautiful glass piece ready for kiln firing.
About the Instructor:
Paz Cardone is a glass artist based in Ajax, Ontario. Originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina, Paz is a career educator, and lifelong learner and maker. She started experimenting with fused and stained glass in 2020. Her more recent fused glass jewellery is made of recycled glass from old picture frames, and scrap glass collected from local framing shops. Her pieces are characterized by the use of solid and clear enamels, which add a unique look and complexity to the glass pieces, often adorned by playful bubbles. She also works with fusible coloured glass, usually firing pieces several times in the kiln to achieve distinctive patterns and styles. Paz is always exploring new techniques and materials in her home studio.
