Master Class in Glass Casting

May 15th - May 17th
Daniel Clayman |

3 Sessions, Friday, May 15th 6:00pm - 8:00pm

Saturday & Sunday, May 16th & 17th, 9am-6pm both days

This master class in glass casting draws from 40 years of my studio work and the fabrication jobs I have done for other artists. I use PowerPoint presentations coupled with a comprehensive handout that covers basic skills and details how complex projects are brought to completion. This lecture format allows us to cover a significant amount of material, and ample time for Q&A is scheduled so participants can pose specific, project-based questions for class discussion.

Please note that this is NOT a hands-on class.

A partial list of subjects covered includes:

  • History of Kiln Casting
  • Overview of casting techniques
  • Devitrification
  • Basic plaster rules
  • Numerous mold recipes
  • Firing and Annealing Schedules
  • Annealing Issues
  • Glass choices
  • Kiln design
  • Large scale casting
  • Jigs and fabrication

The class is beneficial for artists of all levels but in particular artists who are somewhat experienced with various glass casting methods.
