In this beginner-friendly hot casting workshop, participants will use a variety of rigid objects to create hollow cavities in a bed of sand. These cavities will then be filled with molten glass. Participants will have the opportunity to observe and learn how to ladle hot glass. Various objects, colors, and metal inclusions will be provided but participants are encouraged to bring their own objects as well. Objects should be rigid; cloth, soft, porous, or easily scratched objects are not recommended. Objects must have no undercuts and cannot exceed 6 x 6″.
