FWS4: Kiln Carving – Making Patterns in Glass

Kiln Carving – Making patterns in glass
Tutor: Katrina Jackson
Learn how to “carve” glass, to create and cut patterns from ceramic fibre paper. Understand the types of glass to use; and kiln firing processes involved. Safety procedures for using glass and ceramic fibre products are covered. A great beginner workshop as no glass cutting skills are required. Experienced glass users will also benefit by learning new techniques to add to their glass creating repetoire. Participants will make two glass “kiln carved” projects.
Workshop is not a replacement for beginners’ fusing and slumping course. Participants will not be taught how to care for and use the Guild kilns.
Numbers: Minimum 5, Maximum 6
Prerequisite: No experience necessary.
