Mark Angus held his masterclass “Human figure. Acid etched flashed glass and lamination” for the students of glass of the Estonian Academy of Arts. The British artist, now residing in Frauenau, Germany, was in Estonia for the second time, his previous visit was in connection with his masterclass on painting and stained glass in 2007.

In Olustvere, Central Estonia, more than forty expressive glass panels were created both by the students and the master, using the painterly properties of flashed glass etched by acid.

The event was sponsored by the German company Lamberts, who provided the academy with handblown flashed glass panels and the company “Wacker”, who provided the transparent two-component silicone for lamination.
