From the flier:
Sand casting is a process that is thousands of
years old, known best in the metal working industry. Glassmakers have
taken this knowledge and applied it to the hot casting process. One of the
major benefits of this process is the immediacy and ease of manipulating
the molds, including spontaneity and adding undercuts.
This workshop will focus on these aspects. We will
be constructing molds from styrofoam and using ready made objects. We will
discuss the process from making of molds, the preparation of the sand,
ladling of glass and annealing. In addition to the technical aspects there
will be lectures, demonstrations, and slide shows on the aesthetics of
cast glass and its implications as object and architectural elements.
Open to all, no experience is necessary.
