Description
This workshop will be roughly 3 hours long. At the end of the workshop you will place your coasters into the kiln where the glass will fuse at approximately 1490 degrees Fahrenheit. After they are fired and cooled, you will have the option of returning to do some coldworking (using diamond grinding tools to remove any imperfections in your piece) prior to taking your finished pieces of art home.
About 72 hours after the end of this workshop, students will come back to my studio and pick up their personally designed glass coasters.
Objectives
- Design and create an artefact using glass as the artistic medium.
- How to cut and work safely with glass.
- Have an understanding of glass as an artistic medium.
- Have fun!
