Learn the techniques of incorporating images into cast glass pieces in this 4-day class. We will explore casting methods to produce a glass book that incorporates images and pre fused elements. By joining a prefused and a precast element we will expand the possibilities of both practises to create works that are not possible with basic casting or fusing techniques.
Topics covered include:
-image making using decals and powder printing
-wafer making and powder stencils
-open face casting using silicone rubber masters
-mould making for casting
– reinvesting cast and fused elements to create final projects
-dammed blocks with images
-some coldworking
-firing schedules
The class will be made up of demonstrations, videos and plenty of hands on work. Students will make one finished cast piece, a small multi stack block and a number of test tiles. All materials included in the class fee. 4th- 7th March
Some experience with fusing or casting will be required before attending this class, minimum 12 months experience of working with glass is ideal
