Examples
|
In this 16 hour class, we
will be covering the off mandrel basics using borosilicate
glass. Students will learn to use heat and gravity to shape
their pieces. We will focus on how to read the heat base in the
glass, so we are anticipating its movement and not just reacting
to it. Encasing and layering of boro color to achieve bright
beautiful results will be covered. We will learn hearts and
several different implosions... along with other pendants and
techniques as time allows. If you are interested in off mandrel
boro pendants or getting beautiful results from boro color, this
class is for you.
