As a student in this workshop, you will be provided with the fundamentals necessary to pursue fused glass, one of the most common forms of kiln-glass. In the end, you will make two fused and slumped plates, but first you will have some work to do. The workshop will begin with exercises in glass cutting, including straight and curved cuts, as well as perfect circles and rings. From there, you will take your newfound skills and put them to use designing, cutting and composing the parts necessary to make two fused and slumped plates. Discussions and demonstrations will cover the basics of kilnforming, from types of glass and mold materials to kilns and firing schedules. No prerequisites.
