GLASSBLOWING AND SAND CASTING WORKSHOPS, LEITRIM SCULPTURE CENTRE
Glassblowing for Beginners
In this two-day workshop participants will explore the extraordinary medium of hot glass. How to gather glass out of the furnace, to control and shape the hot glass, to blow a bubble and make a simple vessel will be taught. Working in two small teams, the emphasis of this course is hands-on experience, with demos and support from experienced trainers.
Dates: Sat 26th & Sun 27th November
Mon 28th & Tue 29th November
Trainers: Louise Rice & Graham Reid
Course Fees: €240 (two days), 10am – 5pm

Sand Casting with Hot Glass
This two day course will introduce the potential of molten glass as a creative material through the process of hot casting into sand moulds. Participants will have the opportunity to ladle glass straight from the furnace and pour right into prepared ‘open faced’ sand moulds using found and sculpted objects. This is the most direct method to create your own solid sculptural forms in glass. All materials are provided, but feel free to bring in your own objects to press in the sand. Appropriate footwear is a must: leather boots are preferred, leather shoes acceptable; no open-toed shoes or sandals!
Dates: Sat 3rd & Sun 4th December
