UrbanGlass @ 647 Fulton St, Brooklyn, NY
Discover the art of transforming flat sheet glass into personalized coasters in this introductory fusing course. Learn glass cutting, grinding, and design techniques to create your own unique patterns. With the opportunity to experiment with different temperatures and embellishments, you'll leave with a set of coasters that showcase your creative style.
This class will meet at both BKLYN Clay and UrbanGlass. At BKLYN Clay, students will learn how to carve, sculpt, and prepare ceramic molds to be used for glass pieces. Then, moving to UrbanGlass students will learn about cutting and assembling sheet glass to heat and melt together in the kiln through the process of fusing. Explorations will include colors, playing with opacity, translucency, and transparency, and learning about how different kiln temperatures affect glass.
Bringing their clay molds into the kilns at UrbanGlass, students will use heat and gravity to slump the glass fusings over the clay, creating a marriage of form and transfer of texture. Class will also cover porcelain Nerikomi techniques, a traditional method of creating patterns with colored clay, and explore parallels in glass. Conversations will look at the crossover of both materials; patterning, layering, and shaping using molds. Students can expect to leave the class with a few finished projects in both materials, a ton of ideas, as well as an understanding of how to use kiln formed glass and ceramics together! Open to all skill levels.

Dates at BKYLN Clay: April 8 (group will walk together for second half of class), April 15, May 6, May 13
