Together, faculty and students hone, improvise and redefine historic technologies while unifying concept, process, and materials through making.
Kiln Forming Glass
Kiln-forming is the process of shaping glass in a kiln with heat and gravity. There are many methods and techniques that are related to kiln-forming, including casting, fusing, slumping and printmaking.
Kiln Casting is an easy way to manipulate solid glass into almost any shape, usually working with plaster/silica molds. Molds are made and then loaded with small bits of glass that become molten and fill the mold.
Kiln Casting I
Kiln Casting is an easy way to manipulate solid glass into almost any shape, working primarily with wax, clay and plaster molds. This class focuses on the core skills of: plaster-silica mold making and preparation of molds for the kiln. Students will be instructed in cold working as well as how to generate firing schedules and understanding how glass operates during the firing process of temperatures up to 1600 degrees. 1-3 glass objects will be produced during the 4 week class. Mold materials and 3lbs of clear casting glass will be provided.

Kiln Casting II

Art and Expression: Mosaic/Tile Making Group-In this class each member will develop their own design concept then create a mosaic from handmade slab tiles. Slab tiles will be made from clay and then glazed. Final steps will include adhering tile pieces onto backer board using tile adhesive and then grouting to complete design. I provide groups that offer support, encouragement and gentle prompting to create an environment where each member can flourish.
