Intuitive Malmischiato 2.0
$247
This course builds on Intuitive Malmischiato 1.0 and introduces you to another layer of flamework. With torch in hand, the crucible, and a few other simple tools, I will take you step by step into the magic of subtle color mixing.
From the simple color mixing of IM 1.0, we now move into more complex recipes.
Using some of my mosaics as inspiration, I will share the secrets of building movement into color. A piece I recently created called The Revelator has been described as “an undulating, organic quilt of color.”The Inside Out Canoe is an example of a more controlled gradient of color mixing.
What People Are Saying
“I’m glad our paths first crossed during your teaching years. I wouldn’t be where I am without your good influence.”
Course Takeaways
Smalti will be your raw material
Starting with a small mountain of smalti, we will carefully create color recipes, in the crucible that will be the building blocks, or should we say the building threads of a small composition of handmade filati.
Build on the skills you learned in Intuitive Malmischiato 1.0 and take color mixing to a higher level.
Once you have some experience with flamework, I will introduce more nuanced and developed mixes that can then be used as elements in larger mosaics or showcased in their own tiny ways.
