Glass Tile Roll Up

August 5, 2020 By Jamie Dull

Saturday August 15 or Saturday August 22 , 2020 10am-4pm

Class Maximum: 6 Min: 4, one hour lunch at noon.

A collaboration with Cascadia Center for Arts and Crafts & Nichol’s Art Glass.

Tile Instructor:  Charlene Fort            Roll-up:  Andy Nichols and Charlene Fort

Cost:  $250  note: this is the cost of the class to produce  the tile for the roll-up.   Cost of roll-up is paid to Nichol’s Art Glass at the reduced class price of $125. For a total of $375 for your 1st completed vessel.

This class is structured to give you time to build at least one tile but numerous students have completed 2 or more tiles within this class time.   However, the cost of each additional tile is $100. Plus the fee to Andy Nichols for completing the piece at $125.  So each additional tile will be a total cost of $225. PLEASE only register for one spot in the class for one person (student), not the number of tiles you wish to create

Join us at the Raven Glass Studio for a fun day of creating glass tiles using cut glass of multi-colours, frits, and embellishments.  Each 8X10” tile will be fused at Raven studio and brought to Nichol’s Art Glass in The Dalles.  You will then set up a time and date to see your tiles made into your special vessel.

Information presented in the class includes best practices for setting up your glass for roll ups, detailed information given during class before designing your tiles, choices for vessel shapes, etc.     We will be using Bullseye Glass, COE 90 glass.

All tools provided.  All classes require you bring a face mask to wear at all times while in the studio buildings!  We practice social distancing and “work stations” will be set up to allow for separation.

Sign up soon.  Our introductory class filled quickly and a waiting list was started

Beginning Blacksmithing

June 29, 2020 By Jamie Dull

The Date For This Class Has Been Updated

Saturday October 3, 2020 – 10am – 4pm $175.00 Max 6 Students.

Learn some blacksmithing fundamentals from Joe Vachon, the Season 6, Episode 27, Forged In Fire Champion, in this 1 day, hands on coarse. Safety, body mechanics, tools, and the working properties of hot steel will be addressed, as well as various techniques, such as: tapering, scrolling, twisting, bending, drilling, punching, hot cutting, flat peening, upsetting and shouldering.  Students will start out practicing the basics with the forging of a few decorative hooks for the first half of the class.  After lunch, folks are welcome to create something of their choosing with their new found skill-set, such as (but not limited to) a fire poker, meat turner, bottle opener, letter opener, necklace pendent, or an experimental piece. One hour lunch break.

Note about what to wear – Wear cotton pants and shirt (synthetics are flammable!).  Make sure your pants fit over the tops of your boots so nothing hot can fall in.  Safety glasses and ear plugs are available, or bring your own.  Bringing your own leather gloves can be a good idea.  Bring a water bottle to stay hydrated.

Building With Logs 101

June 29, 2020 By Jamie Dull

Log Building Students

These classes will be rescheduled for next Summer.

All Sessions are Mon – Fri –  8:00am – 5:00pm 

Session 1: July 20-24
Session 2: July 27-31
Session 3: August 3-7

We will use traditional hand tools to fit logs together using a variety of notch styles. Among them will be Round, Saddle, and Dovetail walls, Chinked and Scribe-fit. We will construct several assemblies including picnic tables, a sauna or tiny house, and several forms of floor and roof systems. Students can expect to learn the unique construction principles associated with joining natural, round, irregular, tapered cylinders together. The anatomy and inherent characteristics of trees, along with good design principles that provide a durable structure will be reviewed.
Tools will be provided. Personal tools are encouraged.

Instructor: David RogersInstructor David Rogers

In 1972, David started his relationship with the Forest in Northern California, setting chokers for the logging industry.
In 1983, he attended the B. Allan Mackie School of Log Building and Environmental center and soon thereafter, began working for Log home building companies.
In the early 1990s, a US Forest Service Team hired him as an instructor to teach traditional log building methods for the purpose of repairing and restoring 1930’s WPA and CCC era log structures. It was during this period that ‘Historic Preservation’ became a topic of interest and fascination.
Since then, David has contracted with Federal, State, County, and City Parks in an effort to preserve the old log structures. Many private clients have utilized his services to repair and rehabilitate their properties.
Teaching the ‘old ways’ to the interested next generation is the purpose of this workshop.
He is currently a member of the International Log Builders Association
The week-long workshops will be consecutive which will allow an individual to attend as many workshops as desired. Each will advance the previous studies, and enable the student to proceed at one’s own pace.
Building with logs is an individual sport and not a competition.
