This class meets both March 22nd AND March 23rd.
On March 22nd you will learn the process of making your own silicone molds from objects you bring in to the class.
Please come prepared with no less than 5 items to make molds from. (Not all object work well for this process, so it is good to have several to choose from.
The pieces created could be later on made into jewelry, incorporated in a bigger piece or displayed as they are.
Hosted by our visiting artist Eriko Kobayashi. The Freeze and Fuse glass technique is when you take a premade silicone mold and "paint" powdered glass into the mold. The glass is then placed into the freezer to harden into a glass ice cube. Once frozen, the object can be removed from the mold and placed into a kiln and heated to FUSE the glass powder into a solid form.Since the freezing process takes longer than the Class time, the instructor will have a collection of pre-frozen objects to place in the kiln and teach you about the firing process.
Items will be out of the kiln the following day ready to be picked up.
Each participant will be able to create up to 3 objects.As this process has us working with extremely fine powdered glass you must be comfortable wearing a mask to participate in this class.
Eriko is a master at this technique and uses it in her current work, which can be seen on instagram at @e.kobayashi_
