I also must give thanks to my friend and screen print tester Kirsten Burkett. Although she had only screen printed a couple of times in the distant past, it came back to her quickly and she did an awesome job helping me. I was aided in my demo by my new friend Elaina Adams of Prairie Glass in Saskatoon. We were able to teach how the screen printing process works and even did multiple examples for the crowd. The team at Oceanside Glass and Tile are experts in their field, and it was a privilege to teach them and some show attendees the basics of screen printing on glass. One of the most exciting moments of the expo for me was when I had the opportunity to do a screen printing demo at the Oceanside Glass and Tile booth.

More information about Doug Baldwin can be found here: Many of his students left the course with a newfound appreciation for the art of photography. His willingness to share his experience and skills are why I took this course to begin with. He covered everything from composition and lighting to editing and post-processing, and his insights were truly invaluable. He specializes in photos of small jewelry and specifically glass pieces. Baldwin is an accomplished photographer and instructor, and his course was a wonderful opportunity to learn some new skills and techniques. 🡩Some of the classes Being offered at the 2023 Glass Expoįor me, one of the highlights of the expo was a photography course offered by Doug Baldwin. 🡩 A Beautiful Stained Glass Piece at the Front Desk of the South Point Hotel Held in the vibrant city of Las Vegas, the expo was an experience that none of us attendees will soon forget.
