Glass

Introduction to cast glass

This course introduces students to the processes, techniques and possibilities of "lost wax" casting.

No previous experience with glass is required, as you will learn how to make a wax model, mould making, kiln firing and glass finishing. Students will make three small glass objects and gain an appreciation of New Zealand cast glass while developing their own ideas and works.

The course fee includes wax, mould making materials and firing (1 kg of glass is included in the fee but students will need to buy their own additional glass). Students will need to bring a small selection of modeling and carving tools to the first class - these can be purchased at art supplies stores.

Information about these tools is sent upon enrolment. This class is suitable for beginners and advanced students.

Maximum enrolment is 8.
