Kiln Cast Glass

A hands on workshop that will introduce mold making for kiln cast glass. Technical aspects of kiln work such as what types of glass to use, the compatibility issue and proper annealing schedules will be covered. Students will have the opportunity to make small clay objects, invest the clay with mold material, prepare the glass, fill the molds and then fire them during this 3 day glass. The class will begin with simple open face molds then proceed quickly to more advance multi-part mold making. Finishing and cleaning methods as well as adhesive will be covered. All levels are welcome.
