Slumpy's Crew Ornament Party

This past Monday, December 9th, Slumpy's had an Ornament Workshop Party for our crew! We had a great time socializing and working with all the glass. The crew made an ornament for the Slumpy's Christmas tree and one for their own Christmas tree. 

To keep all the pieces in place, we used Klyr Fire adhesive. All the ornaments were contour fused and look great! We used Dichro pebbles, Irid glass, Buffalo Chips, Carolina Frit, and scrap glass. Click here to see our glass components selection!

We used Slumpy's Scientific Serum to glue jewelry bails to the glass ornaments for easy hanging. You could also drill a hole in the glass using ST-390, 1/8" Drill bit. 

Check out our Holiday section on our website!

Special Store Hours: Don't forget our Slumpy's Store will be 

OPEN Saturday, Dec. 28 from 10am-4pm!

How to Photograph your Glass pieces

What You will Need:
Digital Camera
(2) 24" Sq. Opalescent Sheet Glass or smaller depending on the size of your piece
(2-6) Clamp Lamps with 100w Daylight Bulbs

Place sheet glass perpendicular to one another, leaning the upright sheet against a wall. You will get a beautiful reflection in your photo by placing your fused piece on top of the white opalescent sheet glass instead of white paper or a white sheet. Set your lights up around the sheet glass. Depending on the look you want you may require more light. The more light the brighter your photos will be. Dim the overhead lights and shoot away!

Once you have taken a few photos and made adjustments, upload photos to your favorite photo editing software. Here you can adjust the brightness and colors to really help your pieces pop!

Important tip: Do not use the flash on your camera as it will wash your photos out and create an unattractive glare on your fused piece.

If you have any technical questions, please email us at slumpyartist@gmail.com.
