INTRODUCTION TO KILNFORMED GLASS·GLASS CUTTING

Sarinda Jones

This class is an exploration of basic to intermediate kilnforming techniques. Straight forward design projects integrate the fundamentals of kiln processes. Methods taught include kilncarving, fusing, and slumping-using clear, black and white and colored glass to illustrate principles of design and color theory. Participants start by making studies with basic materials and methods and end by creating projects that bring all of the learning together.

Learn to cut with confidence and proficiency. Topics include straight and curved cuts, use of tools, safety and technique.

Workshop fee is $225.00.

Thick Block Casting

Sarinda Jones

This class will introduce you to ways to float imagery and color within thick blocks of clear
glass. Thick glass castings have resulted historically from pours of furnace glass or by kiln-melting glass chunks or frits. The method we will call “stack firing” results instead from the fusing of multiple layers of clear sheet glass on which are imbedded lines and fields of colored glass. This method is direct, simple and allows greater control of line quality than is
achievable with other techniques. The end product will be a solid block of clear glass with internal imagery and color as complex or as simple as your personal style dictates. Prerequisite to this class is Introduction to Kilnformed Glass or equivalent skills.

Workshop fee is $385.00

General Class Information

Classes are two days and the glass is included. The class size is small, 5 persons max, this lends for an intimate group. (Everyone can learn from each other’s work.)

Classes are filled on a first-come, first-served basis and most fill very quickly. In order to ensure your participation, we recommend early registration.
