GLASS SANDCASTING

With Jon Firth over 2 Saturdays 6th & 13th November

 

Sand cast glass is an ancient technique that anyone with the use of a controlled kiln can accomplish. This technique is used today by many glass artists to produce unique, one off moulds for casting glass; sculptures, paper-weights and other decorative items.

In this workshop students will explore the technique of Sand Cast Glass in a kiln environment. This technique allows practitioner to make solid glass objects either free form or from a pattern, without the need for a furnace. The workshop will run from 10am to 4pm both days and costs $460.
