9am - 4pm
Discover the artistic potential of working with deep glass in this exciting two-day workshop.
This course is ideal for those who want to focus on a larger, more complex fused glass project and who are eager to gain an understanding of deeper, layered fusing processes. This workshop will equip students with a range of new and more complex kiln-forming skills, whilst fostering each individual’s artistic direction in glass.
Students will be encouraged to draw on their own creative ideas, interests, and fused glass techniques to undertake a 10-layer block fusing project. This course will require students to consider colour, pattern, form, and composition as they create designs on Bullseye sheet glass, which will be fused in a stack to form an artwork featuring layers and depth.
Core Techniques:
• Block Fusing - how to build a deeper composition and prepare it for a successful firing process
• Layered design and colour composition
• Kiln Firing Schedules
• Health and safety
Materials provided:
• All tools (glass cutters, pliers, rulers, etc)
• All safety equipment (safety glasses, masks, gloves, etc)
• All artistic materials (Bullseye sheet glass, frits and powders, high-fire enamel, glass glue, drawing materials for planning, etc)
Learning Outcomes:
By the end of this two-day workshop, each student will have the skills to:
• Create a layered block of glass (up to 10 sheets thick)
• Integrate high-fire enamels
• Navigate basic kiln firing programs
• Implement appropriate health and safety procedures
