Glass, in its purest form, is made of soda, ash and lime, transformed by
heat into a molten mass that, when cool, becomes the transparent material
that has fascinated mankind for over 4000 years. Many of it's firing
properties are closely related to clay ....
Join Judith in exploring the process of fusing layers of colored glass =
that
have been cut to shape, stacked and heated in a kiln. Observe the changes
it goes through in the firings and see how the manipulation of heat, time
and gravity transforms the layers of glass into a work of fine art. =
Judith
will demonstrate cutting, firing and manipulating the glass while =
inspiring
your creativity. There will be a slide show of her pieces and other glass
artists. Students will also try their hand at designing a glass project at
the end of the class.
