This engaging 7-day workshop, spread over the course of a month, takes you step by step through the complete process of glass casting. You will gain the skills to cast simple glass forms independently, improving technique and process.
We will start by modeling in wax and finish with cutting and polishing your glass into a completed piece. Sessions take place on Fridays and Saturdays from 10:00 to 14:00.
Next workshop dates:
17/18 April
24/25 April
02 May
08/09 May
This class will specifically cover:
Working with wax, investing your wax into a mold, steaming your wax out, choosing, cutting, and measuring your glass, setting up a kiln, firing the kiln from ramping up to annealing, programming a kiln, devesting molds, and finally, cold working!
At the end of this course, you will have all the skills necessary to be able to begin a journey of glass casting on your own.
You will want to bring your own notebook for sketching and talking through ideas and a place for important handouts. Wear clothes you do not care about because we will make a mess of them in the beginning. Be on time and be ready to work. Prepare to take notes because it's no surprise what kind of technical information the brain will forget in a month’s time. There are no makeup classes or cancelations. If you know you will miss a class, have a classmate take really good notes for you.
This unique class is limited to 4 participants only, giving the feeling of a private lesson. There is a size limit of no more than 8cm in any direction. The limit is due to the fact that the thicker the glass, the longer it needs to cool in the kiln. And since this course is meant to teach the principles of casting, we need to limit the size to be able to cast on a 5-day schedule.
