About

Provide glass with an opportunity to move and it will. Contain it in a box on an incline, and you'll form a three-dimensional glass wedge within which one can witness the suspended flow. These palm-size wedges make great three-dimensional paperweights, sun catchers, or simply light/color sculptures that absolutely stand out in any environment except for a dark room. 

Given their shape, they're super stable on their own without a stand or base to distract from the beauty within. They can be produced in smaller/shallow kilns and the process also can be scaled for larger kilns and projects.

Over four days, you'll see and learn everything from making the (reusable) mold to putting on the finishing touches in the cold shop. Across multiple firings, projects will incorporate sheet, frit and murrine.

Details

A materials fee of $175, included in the registration fee, covers all the materials you'll need during class (sheet glass, frit, murrine, and mould materials).

Project

You'll load and finish two wedges and own the molds you used in class when it’s over.

Prerequisites

All are welcome, the only prerequisites are the ability to cut sheet-glass and a willingness to experiment, learn, be challenged, and have a bit of fun doing it.

Class Policies

Ages 14 and up are welcome.
