About this Event

Kiln forming describes the process in which glass is manipulated through a specific approach to temperature control within a kiln. This iteration of the course will emphasize techniques for mold making and glass casting. Students should expect to gain basic competency in one and two part molds. The course will cover various ways of working with wax and clay to create unique sculptures. Finally, a variety of investment style mold making techniques will be explored for glass casting.  No experience necessary.


What to expect: 


Lectures and demonstrations will provide foundational knowledge for various techniques on manipulating glass within the kiln. As each week passes the previous process or technique is expanded upon to develop more complex work. This course requires standing for periods of time longer than half an hour. Students should expect to leave this class with one to two complete glass objects. Due to the nature of the material it is not possible to cast any object with a thickness greater than 2.5".  Read more about how to prepare for class on our Registration Info page.

Eligibility: No experience required. Open to ages 14 and up.

Pick-up: The glass needs to cool down overnight, so the students will have to return to UrbanGlass once notified to pick up their work.


This is an in-person class taking place on-site at UrbanGlass. Health and safety guidelines will be emailed to you upon registration.
