Pittsburgh Glass Center

Combine sculpting and moldmaking with the heat of the kiln to create cast glass sculptures. Begin by learning the basics of kiln cast glass by creating small 3D objects then move on to making glass replicas of found objects. Explore silicones and other moldmaking materials and learn the lost wax casting process. Finally, you'll work with body-safe life-casting alginate and take a mold of your hand (or other body part) and turn it into glass. This class will cover model construction, refractory molds, glass preparation, firing, and resolving castings into finished works of art. No experience necessary.

Class does not meet on 3/4.

Ages 14+
