In this workshop, students will use a combination of kiln-casting, kiln-forming, cold-working and construction techniques, exploring and developing a sculptural and narrative dialogue of glass through, and in combination with, found and personal objects, materials, and textures. Students will develop and bring their own ‘vocabulary’ to the creative process, culminating in both their own individual pieces and a collaborative project. We will explore methods of model construction, simple rubber molds to create multiples, open face molds and lost wax processes. Demonstrations, discussions, troubleshooting, experimentation and play provide the space for learning kiln glass fundamentals.
