Special Guest Instructor:
Nathan Sandberg
“Techniques in Vitrigraph”
Taking a thoughtful approach to using the Vitrigraph kiln we can create cane and murrini that rival those created in a hot shop.Capitalizing on the ways glass can be arranged in and flows from a crucible, students in this innovative workshop will learn to create reproducible decorative canes and intricate murrini using the Vitrigraph Kiln.
These elements can then, immediately, be used in other kiln-glass projects. Students will be handling and manipulating hot, molten glass. No prerequisites.
August 8, 9, 10: 9a – 5p
Must attend all four Sessions!
