Masters Glass Painting with Jonathan Cooke; May 6 - 10, 2013

Ken Leap and I are pleased to announce that Jonathan Cooke (http://www.jonathancooke.org) will be returning to the US/Wheaten/Cape May the week of May 6, 2013. The Master's class that was offered in 2010 was extraordinary and received raved reviews and press from both Glass Art Magazine and the Stained Glass Quarterly.

Please note: The American Glass Guild (Applications for scholarships are due January 31, 2012) and the Stained Glass Association of America (Application deadline is April 13, 2013) offer educational scholarships. The information provided below will be needed for scholarship applications.

JONATHAN COOKE
For the past thirty years, Jonathan has studied, researched and experimented extensively with traditional glass painting techniques of all periods.

Jonathan Cooke ACR served a four year apprenticeship at the York Glaziers Trust where he learnt the traditional techniques and methods for the creation, conservation and restoration of stained glass, working on the restoration of York Minister following the fire of 1984. Current projects include: Sir John Soane's Museum, Durham Museum and the Royal Academy of Dance. His conservation and restoration of the armorial glass at Ordsall Hall for Salford Museums formed part of the 2012 RICS award winning conservation project. Jonathan serves on multiple Diocesan Advisory Committees and the Stained Glass Committee of the Church Building Council.

Jonathan will conduct daily demonstrations on glass painting using a technique whereby a number of layers of paint can be built up prior to firing. He will also cover/discuss materials, tools, firing schedules, silver stain and enamels.

What people have said about his previous courses..... "Jonathan Cooke's friendly and open minded style combined with his well informed knowledge of the subject, inspires both confidence and enthusiasm. The course is/was without question a must for all who seek to expand their knowledge of glass painting and conservation techniques." "Jonathan's wealth of knowledge, skill and experience provide the foundation from which he teaches with great clarity and generosity. I have found his masterclasses to be both stimulating and liberating, enabling me to learn new glass painting skills whilst challenging and consolidating existing ones. I always welcome the opportunity to learn from him".

PAINTING THE FLESH
with Kathy Jordan
August 5-11, 2013
Orvieto, Italy
"location...location...location"

IKO Studios - Arts Pad - Orvieto, Italy:

Considered one of the most picturesque villages in Italy, Orvieto is located in luscious Umbria, replete with verdant valleys and minus the touristy overload of Tuscany. Just a bit over an hour from Rome, Orvieto has the history with less of the bustle. Populated since Etruscan times (beginning in Italy around 800 BC), the town sits on a perch of volcanic tufa built over a labyrinth of Etruscan caves, tunnels, and tombs, yielding one of the most dramatic sites in Europe.
With brilliant views over the 2000-year old walls across the surrounding countryside, Orvieto is accessible by funicular (built in 1888 and powered for almost 100 years by tanks of water beneath each car; fully refurbished in 1990). Sited 700 feet above the surrounding areas and boasting a measly 6500 inhabitants, Orvieto is less than a mile long and a half-mile wide, with a pedestrian-only city center.
