River Rocks 2.0
In 2015 Mark released the video tutorial Rolling River Rocks. Since that time his techniques have evolved and have been expanded on in this new and updated online version.
The 53-page eBook that accompanies the online video demonstrations and lecture portions of this tutorial includes design pattern guides/projects and the step by step illustrated guide for the featured project of the Curious Crab. Learn how Mark plans his projects, uses color effectively, firing schedule guides, and a final assembly of rock projects in an easy-to-follow format will help you to adapt the techniques to your own design concepts.
Unique Glass Colors and/or Colors for Earth products are used in my tutorials and educational material. It is strongly recommended to use these products as they have been tested for the best results, compatibility with non-enamel supplemental products, and color selections. These are the brands I have thoroughly tested and mastered.

In this tutorial and the supporting documentation, Mark will discuss and demonstrate three different glass surface preparation options, review the tools and recommended supplies, demonstrate drawing techniques suitable for use in fused glass drawings, firing specifications and steps, and finally an optional method of adding color or tinting your fused glass enamel drawings.
The drawing techniques may be used in a variety of personal art styles from simple line or gesture drawings, abstracts, or realistic representations of the subject matter you choose.

Waterjet ornament shapes are available at Milkweed Arts in 8 different shapes in your choice of Bullseye COE90 or Oceanside COE96 in Clear and White glass. I designed these shapes for students of my webinars and tutorials to have access to the shapes and sizes that I use for fused glass ornaments.
TIP: For most of my applications I fire no hotter than 1385 as it is more about the products and applications than the glass itself. This prevents dogboning and the potential for the hole closing up should the piece require more than one kiln firing. Place fiber paper in the hole to maintain the size of the hole in the ornaments and do not remove until you have completed your last firing.
