Through demonstrations, discussion, and guided practice, students will explore:
- Silicone Molds – Make replicas of small objects using two types of silicone molds: one with common household caulking, and another with two-part pourable silicone rubber.
- Freeform Sculpting – Shape glass paste directly using simple tools such as palette knives, creating unique forms without molds.
- Color Samples – Create and test color swatches, learning how low-fire schedules affect color maturity and how to achieve desired visual outcomes.
- Exploring Binders – Experiment with three different binders, comparing their strengths and weaknesses for various applications.
- Dry Working – Develop methods for refining detail, smoothing surfaces, and preparing pieces for successful firing.
- Cold Working – Develop methods for cleaning and refining surfaces after firing.
- Technical Discussions – Gain insight into low-fire kiln-forming challenges, including managing shrinkage, balancing thin and thick areas, fusing schedules, and kiln support strategies.
By the end of the workshop, students will have a toolkit of practical techniques for shaping glass paste into forms rich with texture, depth, and detail—equally suited for realism or abstraction.
All materials are included. No experience is necessary.
Please wear closed-toe shoes.
