Service Description

Join guest artist Joseph Cavalieri in his second visiting artist workshop! We will be using premixed enamels to paint, airbrush, atomize, pen, and silk-screen patterns and images onto stained glass, then kiln fire the pieces. No need to be an expert painter, we will be tracing images in class. You will learn and practice these techniques to make a 10x10 inch panel. The final day we will copper foil and solder the glass pieces together to make a finished stained-glass panel. Students will come away with the final panel plus samples of all the techniques. Joseph will provide a new choice of images and patterned silk-screens, different than the ones used in his 2026 class, for students to use. Extras include a demo on framing, lighting, and fun talks on the history of stained glass, art marketing and art residencies. About Joseph Cavalieri: I am an artist and educator, as of November 2024, living in Voulême, France. I was raised in New York. My teaching credentials include over 100 workshops in the USA, South America and Europe, including Corning Museum of Glass, BerlinGlas, Pilchuck, and Penland School of Craft. The techniques I teach use a similar process of Medieval painting and firing enamels on glass in a kiln, but I combine more modern, less wasteful and quick processes of hand painting on glass including airbrushing, silk-screening, and penning. I have started silk screening on fused and slumped glass to make functional objects. My work can be seen in the permanent collection of the Museum of Arts and Design, the Italian American Museum, the Leslie-Lohman Museum, the Stax Museum, and in the collections of two Simpson’s writers in Los Angeles. Private and public art commissions include a MTA Arts for Transit public art installation at the Philipse Manor Train Station in New York, and Our Lady of Sorrow Church in Brazil. I have collaborated with illustrator R. Crumb too! I have attended fifteen art residencies in the US, South America, Europe, Australia and India. In 2015 I was invited to be the keynote speaker for the Glass Society of Ireland and NCAD Conference.
