Type Project

In this lesson, we explore the pâte de verre method by making a glass skull decorated in the spirit of Dia de los Muertos, or the Day of the Dead.

Day of the Dead Skulls L077

Pâte de Verre is a casting method that involves hand-packing layers of frit and powder in a refractory mold. For our Day of the Dead skull, we use granules of glass instead. Learn the process in this video.

Lost Wax Kilncasting L074

In this lesson you will learn how to prepare a wax model, how to make a two-layered refractory mold, how to steam the wax out of the mold, and successfully cool and clean the piece.

This lesson addresses the kinds of imagery best suited to this method, processes for preparing the image on vinyl, and how to transfer images to the screen.

Screen Printing with Hand-Cut Stencils L061

In this lesson, you will learn what kinds of imagery are best suited to the hand-cut stencil method, the process of preparing the image on vinyl, transferring it to the screen, and how to clean up materials when you're finished

Box casting allows makers to create a reverse-relief, cast-glass object of exceptional clarity, using an alginate mold and a vermiculite box.

Box Casting L055

Box casting is a great way to create a reverse-relief, cast-glass object with exceptional clarity. This process is ideal for producing multiple editions of a piece.

This lesson covers how to navigate design choices when working with thicker part sheets and how to minimize bubbles when working with bumpy part sheets.

Designing with Part Sheets, Part 2 L054

What should you expect when the part sheet is thicker than 3mm or if the surface is bumpy and irregular? Learn how to navigate these design choices in this lesson.

This lesson demonstrates how to create individual design layers, how to control bubbles and minimize coldworking, and how to fire and finish the work.

Working Deep L053

In this lesson you will learn how to create individual design layers, lay up a block to control bubbles and minimize coldworking, and considerations for damming, firing, and finishing the work.

In this project-based lesson, we'll use 2mm stringer and 3mm sheet glass to make a basic plate with a line-based design and abundant color options.

Inline Plate Project L050

In this project-based lesson, we’ll make a basic plate with a line-based design. Using 2mm stringer and 3mm sheet glass,

In this lesson, learn some of the ways that harnessing glass flow can help you achieve spectacular effects with your glass.

Harnessing Flow in Kiln-Glass L048

In this lesson you will learn how glass flow can be controlled to spectacular effect.

Designing with Part Sheets, Part 1 L047

Explore ways to work with part sheets and use them as design elements.

This lesson covers how to create a kilncarving design using ceramic fiber paper. It also teaches how to fire and finish a piece of work.

Kilncarving L045

Learn how to create a kilncarved design using ceramic fiber paper, how to fire and finish a piece of work, and how glass behaves at the various temperatures used in this basic forming method.

This lesson demonstrates how artist Carrie Iverson employs the gum image transfer method to transfer print imagery onto sheet glass using glass powders.

Gum Image Transfer L038

In this lesson you will learn to print imagery onto sheet glass, as demonstrated by artist Carrie Iverson.

This lesson explores a technique for diluting areas of color within a composition, offering step-by-step instructions for making a fused and slumped plate.

Dilution Solution L037

In this lesson, you'll create a fused, slumped plate with diluted areas in the design.
