Your Instructors
Paul Messink
Paul Messink is an award-winning kiln-work glass artist and noted international instructor who draws on prior drawing and painting experience to create hand-painted, multi-layered glass panels that present nature and figures in deep dimension. Messink is best known for painting misty landscapes. See his work at http://PaulMessink.com.
He is often drawn to the ethereal, to the “unknown” hidden in the mist. Mystery and a slight melancholy run through many of his pieces, which he creates by fusing (in a kiln) anywhere from 9 to 35 layers of hand-enameled glass into a single, thick panel. Each layer contains a part of the final image and when fused, the finished work contains unique depth, dimension, and interaction with light not found in other painted art forms.
