furnace, to control and shape the hot glass, to blow a bubble and make a
simple vessel. Working in two small teams, the emphasis of this course
is hands-on experience, with demos and support from an experienced
glassblower.
Sand Casting with Hot Glass Workshop

Trainer: Keith Seybert
Course Fees: €285
(two days) - 10am to 5pm
Participants: 6
Experience: No experience

This two-day course will introduce participants to the potential of
molten glass as a creative material through the process of hot casting
into sand moulds. They 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 required and all materials are provided. Please bring
your own objects to press in the sand. Appropriate footwear is a must;
leather boots are preferred, leather shoes are acceptable. No open-toed
shoes or sandals!
