About

Kiln carving — a technique for achieving bas relief, or carved effects, in your glass work by combining fusing and slumping — is a process glass artists want in their repertoire. This class also is also a great introduction to fused glass.

Kiln carving can move your glass past a flat surface as you learn to create texture and a sculptured appearance in your piece. Learn how to take your kiln-carved piece in new directions by adding embellishment, additional texture, and colors.

You'll discuss and explore a series of design inspiration boards (provided) to spark your creative design ideas.

Class 1 - Discuss design fundamentals and plan your project.  Inspiration boards will expand your creativity in transforming a flat piece of glass into 3D form using the kiln-carving technique. 

Class 2 - Create your own kiln-formed bas relief using an X-Acto knife and fiber paper. Additional firings may be necessary to achieve your finished design, and that will be possible as you learn studio processes for working independently in the Glass Studio.

Instructors or Guides

Anne Miller

At heart, Anne is an artist and designer whose chosen mediums include concrete, textiles, clay, paper, metal, encaustic, stained, and now, fused glass. Her passion took her on many paths, including ceramics and portraiture, and eventually led to a career in graphic and textile design and as a Marimekko retailer, toy, and apparel designer. Combining her talents for design and business, she pursued a career with Herman Miller and Steelcase, which spanned 35 years. Recently retired, her passion for art and design has led her to BARN to immerse herself and focus on all forms of art-creating, designing, and having a terrific time.

Land Acknowledgment

“Every part of this soil is sacred in the estimation of my people. Every hillside, every valley, every plain and grove, has been hallowed by some sad or happy event in days long vanished.” – Chief Seattle 1854

We would like to begin by acknowledging that the land on which we gather is within the ancestral territory of the suq̀ʷabs̆ “People of Clear Salt Water” (Suquamish People). Expert fisherman, canoe builders and basket weavers, the suq̀ʷabs̆ live in harmony with the lands and waterways along Washington’s Central Salish Sea as they have for thousands of years. Here, the suq̀ʷabs̆ live and protect the land and waters of their ancestors.
