Powder Printing in Flameworking

Powder Printing in Flameworking

Jin Won Han

Powder printing is a popular technique where fine glass powder is pushed through a screen onto a sheet of glass to create detailed images or patterns. While it is primarily used in fusing, where the design is applied to a flat sheet and kiln-fired, this demo will explore how to transfer printed patterns onto a 3D surface in flameworking. Borosilicate tubing will be rolled over the printed pattern both at room temperature and while hot, then heated with a torch to fully fuse the design.

Artist Bio: Jin Won Han was born in Korea. Completing her BFA and MFA in metal crafts in Seoul National University, followed by Rhode Island School of Design, where she earned her second master's degree. Jin taught at the RIT and was an adjunct research faculty member at Western University. Currently working at Sheridan College following a two-year residency at the University of Sydney. Jin's work spans a variety of materials and methods, including metal craft, glass, performing arts, robotics, and CNC machining (Computer Numerical Control). She enjoys interdisciplinary projects and is currently focused on integrating 3D digital techniques such as 3D modeling, milling, and waterjet cutting with flameworking.
