Type Lesson

This lesson surveys several types of glass projects undertaken using kiln-glass. It then details how anyone, anywhere might begin making with kiln-glass.

What is Kiln-glass? L029

In this lesson you will learn about the types of glass projects commonly created in a kiln and how you could begin making them.

In this project-based lesson, we will take a photograph and make it into a laser-printed decal, before firing the decal onto glass to make a fused plate.

Laser-Printed Sepia Decals L136

In this project-based lesson, we will demonstrate how to make a photograph into a laser-printed decal to be fired onto glass, to make a fused and slumped plate.

In this lesson, we'll show you how the process works and create several different sheets of colored glass while creating a slumped plate.

Powder-Colored Sheet Glass L132

In this lesson, we'll show you how the process of powder-colored sheet glass works and create several different sheets of colored glass.

This lesson covers strategies for working with multiple firings, the cumulative effect of heatwork on glass, and how to anneal works fired multiple times.

Considerations for Multiple Firings L130

Here, we cover strategies for successfully reheating pre-fired work, the cumulative effect of heatwork on glass, how to anneal works that have been fired multiple times, as well as some special considerations.

In this lesson, you'll learn about firing to different tack fuse temperatures, firing schedule considerations, and effective annealing.

Tips for Tack Fusing L129

In this lesson, you'll learn the effects of firing to different tack fuse temperatures. We'll also cover firing schedule considerations to avoid thermal shock and promote effective annealing.

Working with Rolled Edges L123

In this lesson, we'll make a plate that illustrates one way to harness the unique qualities of rolled edges. We'll also cover some possible variations.

Kilncarved Sconce Project L122

In this lesson we'll demonstrate how to design and fabricate your own lighting sconce.

In this lesson, you'll learn about design, setup, and firing considerations for kilncarving billets. We’ll also cover some variations on the technique.

Kilncarved Billet L121

In this lesson, you'll learn about design, setup, and firing considerations for kilncarving billets, as well as some variations.

In this project-based lesson, we'll make a bowl using a palette of Opaline, Clear, and Pine Green—aiming to tap Opaline's special visual properties.

Opaline Ring Bowl L119

In this project-based lesson, you'll learn how to intercut sheet glass rings and circles while making a bowl with Opaline, Clear, and Pine Green glass.

This project-based lesson demonstrates the basic techniques of pâte de verre by making a color-fade bowl, along with considerations for firing the piece.

Pâte de Verre Bowl L117

In this lesson, we'll demonstrate the basic techniques of pâte de verre by making a color-fade bowl.

We gave three artists half-sheets of white glass, a pile of Vitrigraph stringers, time to draw with those stringers, and a list of words to serve as prompt.

Drawing with Vitrigraph Stringer L115

3 artists were each given half-sheets of white glass, a pile of vitrigraph stringers, one word and time to draw with those stringers. This video is the result.

We demonstrate effective methods for cutting narrow strips from Cascade sheet glass and using them to make a plate with a chevron design.

Cascade Chevron Plate L114

Learn about the characteristics of Cascade sheet glass, methods for cutting narrow strips, and how to make a plate with a chevron design.
