Photo Class I

In a search for further enlightenment, I am taking a four week class on Sunday mornings at the Pittsburgh Glass Center, learning how to transfer photographic images into glass.

It is intimidating, walking into a room with a group of strangers, no matter how small the group is. All the students are women and our ages range from twelve to to forty something. I am the only member of the class that has no experience working with glass. I am also the only member of the class with minimal photography experience.

The instructor gave us an overview of the techniques she would be teaching and gave a very brief lesson in converting images for use. She also talked about the different things we could create once the images were transferred to the glass – plates, jewelery, wind chimes...

It was good to get out of the house and do something challenging for a few hours.
