The Art of Glass Painting - Keeping it Simple with Jim M . Berberich
July 17 – 21 — $ 675
In the thousand years that glass painting has been in existence , a multitude of techniques have been created . The different approaches have added some confusion to this medium , and we will focus on some traditional methods with a twist , going into detail on how and why these methods work . There will be demonstrations , open discussion , and one-on-one guidance from the instructor . The objective is for the student to leave with the confidence , understanding , and knowledge needed to create beautiful glass painting . The class projects will include portraits and life subjects , using vitreous paints , enamels , and stains .
Jim M . Berberich is mostly known for his glass painting skills in figure painting and the use of enamels . Jim ’ s artistic representation of the female figure is easily recognized throughout the world . The methods he uses have been intentionally chosen and simplified after years of practice and experimentation yielding the same end result . His self-taught experiences in restoration and painting on glass have allowed him to achieve a soft , realistic face , with graduated tone and depth . Jim teaches these skills in multiple stained glass studios in the U . S . and abroad . He is also an accredited instructor at the SGAA ( Stained Glass Association of America ). His stained glass artworks can be found in museums , private collections , hospitals , and churches around the country and abroad .
