Description

Let's light it up! In this class, you'll explore stacking readymade glass and using kiln-fired enamel as a solder to create your own plasma light sculpture. If you are new to glass, create your sculpture with found glass vessels like vases, bottles, cups, and bowls. If you have experience in glass making, bring your own handmade cups or vessels and explore turning them into plasma sculptures. This class will utilize the equipment in the cold shop to cut, drill, and grind your ready-made glass; harness the power of the kilns to fire your work; and use the plasma cart to fill the vessels with gas. No experience needed.

 

Please bring 4 - 6 sets of glasses or vessels to work with. This class is designed for 2 projects to be filled with plasma.

 

Class does not meet on 3/6.
