Description
This workshop will be roughly 3 hours long. At the end of the workshop you will place your plate into the kiln where the glass will fuse at 1490 degrees Fahrenheit. After it’s cooled, it will be reheated and formed into your dish.
You will have the option of returning to do some coldworking (using diamond grinding tools to remove small imperfections in your work) between the initial fusing and final forming of your piece.
After the final firing the students will be able to take home their final piece of art.
About 72 hours after the end of this workshop, students will come back to my studio and pick up their personally designed glass plate.
