GLASS – SUMMER SESSION 4

Nisha Bansil
Embedded Pattern and Thick Forms

This workshop will be an investigation into embedding patterns in glass castings. We will experiment with different techniques for creating patterns, including vitreous enamel and powder printing. Using paper and clay as positives, students will create open faced molds for our patterned castings. We will also learn techniques borrowed from traditional pâte de verre. Students will leave with one hollow-form vessel and several thicker castings. Come prepared to play, experiment, and be inspired by the Penland campus. All levels. Kiln studio.
