The Vitrigraph kiln was originally developed at Bullseye in the early 1990s by Rudi Gritsch to create visually fluid lines, or “stringers,” for the artist Narcissus Quagliata to use in his “light paintings” in glass. The new kiln allowed the artist to create lines that henceforth had not been within his reach. Those attending this presentation will learn not only about making stringers, still the most common use of the Vitrigraph kiln, but also how to make patterned and cased canes that historically have been the provenance of the hotshop. Images, diagrams, and physical samples support this hot demonstration. Learn more...
