Slump Fest 2010 in Belmont North Carolina
I love glass art!
This is a glass residency I did as part of my partnership program with Karoline Shaffer. My specialty was teaching painting techniques with the glass paint, Multi-pens and the Pate De Verre method. Karoline did projects with free form fusing and ushing the various molds that Slumpy's offers. It was so much fun!!!

Below are some pics from that adventure:

Artist in Residence-Program getting arts back into education! 

Jess Stone enjoys sharing her love for printmaking and its endless possibilities: Monotyping, Screenprinting, Etching, Collagraphs, and her personal favorite Wood/linoleum cuts. Not only does she teach these methods but also shows how to combine them and other drawing materials. By doing this you can make a traditional print or a collage of mediums to create beautiful artwork. This marriage of mediums stretches the creative imagination and allows the student to see first hand the wonderful possibilities of art materials.

Residencies can range from a one day workshop to a two week intensive project series. These series can be custom made to fit whatever project or budget you have in mind.
