Glass Casting and Pate De Verre

Instructor:  Jody Danner Walker

Saturday, January 18 to Monday, January 20, 2025

A comprehensive exploration of methods for casting glass, from simple open faced castings to more elaborate techniques such as lost wax casting.

In this fast paced 3 day workshop we’ll approach glass casting from several angles, including:

  • Open faced, or bas relief casting

  • Lost wax casting, from start to finish

  • Pate de verre, using a “paste of glass” in a mold

  • Mold making with clay and plaster

  • Coldworking techniques for casting.

This is a hands-on class in which students will learn to use existing molds or create their own molds from clay and plaster.  Focus will be on creating a number of smaller pieces that showcase each technique.  Experience with basic kiln processes is helpful, but not required. 

$695

All levels, three days plus a fourth day for coldworking as needed
10:00 to 4:00 first two days, 10:00 to 1:00 last day, coldworking day to be scheduled as needed
