This workshop covers a variety of different techniques and processes,
and is less focused on imagery. However, many of the things taught here may be utilized in creating them, including multiple firing.
We'll cover the basic practices of Fritography, combining them with
unusual shapes, and use a variety of dam methods.
There are several other ways of working with frit we'll explore as well;
