Glass Casting Exploration Workshop July

This hands on explorative workshop will take place in person over three consecutive days in July from the 10th to the 12th. Amy will walk you step by step through the glass casting process at an easy to follow pace. We will have fun, finding inspiration and creating forms. We will work with positive and negative spaces and you will learn each step of how to cast glass from open casting to the lost wax process. You will be guided through mindful model making and the mould making process for glass casting using a range of materials from hot melt rubber to wax to create beautiful glass.

As you progress daily, you will pick up tips on how to set up a studio at home and start to demystify what is happening in the kiln with firing schedules for you to take away. At the end of this intensive workshop we will arrange collection of the glass casts you have made, this course does not include cold working due to the time the casts will need to be in the kiln.

Course dates:
Mon 10th July 10 am to 4pm
Tue 11th July 10 am to 4pm
Wed 12th July 10 am to 4pm
