Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this glass sculpture class:

Get a look inside the world of negative space casting in this introspective class! Capitalizing on the transparent quality of glass, we’ll create unique sculptural objects that you can look inside of to see a negative shape. We will create cast hollow core blocks with interior voids that when viewed through the outside of the sculpture appear as a ghostly remnant of an object. This class will cover the hollow core casting process, writing kiln programs and coldworking and polishing glass.

What to Expect: This class will explore castings using interior cavities in the glass to create imagery. Students can expect to leave with one or two small, clear, cast blocks with interior negative space sculptures, under 4.5” in any direction. 

Students will also receive a thorough introduction to the cold shop while they learn to polish a side of their casting for better internal viewing. The cold shop equipment can be loud, and all equipment is water fed. For coldworking weeks, students should wear waterproof shoes. An apron, safety glasses, and ear protection are provided.

Eligibility: While some glass casting experience would be ideal, total beginners with a good attitude and focus will also be welcome - just know you are beginning with a more complex process. Open to ages 14 and up.

This is an in-person class taking place on-site at our school. Health and safety guidelines will be emailed to you upon registration.
