Glass tech, week 13

Continuing on with our casting project, we spent this class in the cold room being assisted and directed by Eliot Brand who has been filling in for Marcus who is on paternity leave.

Our project is to have the base ground, polished and beveled.

All machines and students got a work out.

This class was also Jaime's last official 'glass' class. She is moving onto photography next semester.
Good luck and don't forget to come and visit.

Hot shop, Week 13

The demonstration for this weeks class was an ashtray. A heavy roccoco type twirly thing.
Andrew's had bubbles but the 'real thing' would have been highly coloured not clear glass with the extra addition of gold leaf as well. 'Gaudy' I think was the term Andrew used.

However the demonstration was used to show a more organic way of pushing the glass around.

it's out of the kiln now so i'll get a snap.

We (the student's) continued on with our tumblers and colour.


hhmm, I think I know why they used colour..something to look at apart from cigarette butts.
