Advanced Glass Casting: Pate de Verre & Press Mold Botanicals
Instructor: Chuchen Song
Delve into the intricate world of pâte de verre and glass casting in this advanced workshop, where nature meets artistry. This course will guide students through the press mold technique, using a two-part mold to create delicate and detailed botanical forms in glass paste. Inspired by the beauty of summer flora, students will experiment with color, texture, and translucency to bring their glass botanical pieces to life.
Through hands-on instruction, you will explore:
- Pâte de verre techniques, including mixing and applying glass paste
- Press mold casting, creating detailed forms using a two-part mold
- Kiln firing schedules, understanding temperature control for texture and structure
- Finishing methods to enhance the final glass pieces
This class is ideal for those with some experience in casting or pâte de verre, but adventurous beginners are welcome! If you have a passion for glass artistry and an appreciation for nature’s delicate details, this course will elevate your skills and creativity.
Join us for an immersive journey into sculpting with light and glass!
