SAND-CASTING WITH HOT GLASS WORKSHOP, LEITRIM SCULPTURE CENTRE

Dates: Sat 28th & Sun 29th April
Trainer: Keith Seybert
Course Fees: €285 (two days) - 10am to 5pm
Participants: 6
Experience: No experience required

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 into prepared ‘open faced’ sand moulds made with found and sculpted objects. This is the most direct method to create your own solid sculptural forms in glass. No previous glass working experience is required and all materials are provided. Feel free to bring your own objects to press in the sand. Appropriate footwear is a must. Ryanair fly from Bristol, East Midlands, Liverpool, Luton, & Stanstead to Knock Ireland West Airport (45minutes away from Leitrim Sculpture Cenre) and B&B starts from €25 per night.
