A Crash Course in "Knitted Glass"

Carol Milne has spent many years teaching herself how to knit with glass. In
this class she will share her secret "knitted glass" technique. Knitting
experience is not necessary to take this course. The idea is to learn how to
make successful, thin or hollow glass castings with cut-outs or filigree
holes in them.


Class will start by discussing the peculiarities of glass as a casting
material. Knowing these properties, students learn how to trick glass into
doing what we want it to do. Working with strands of dimensional wax (3/16"
diameter up to 1/4" diameter), students will make one small object
(6"x6"x6") to cast. As a class, the group will analyze each object to
determine how best to get a successful casting. The class will cover all
aspects of casting: Day one is wax-working. Day two is mold-making. Day
three is steaming molds & loading the kiln. Day four is devesting molds and
cleaning glass. All levels are welcome.


Please note class dates are 1/20/15, 1/21/15, 1/22/15 and 1/25/15, 6pm -
10pm

Special Classes


As part of our commitment to the development of a healthy and creative
environment UrbanGlass often offers workshops outside the scope of our
studio based classes. Focused on both the artistic and physical well being
of our students, these classes range widely in subject matter but are
designed to add richness to your both your studio practice and everyday
life.
