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
Trainer: Keith Seybert
