Casting on the Edge
Have you ever wanted to push your casting to its limits, try to cast something extreme, cross your casting into the hot studio, insert something in the glass body, or shift the mould in the kiln. Then this class is for you. Bring your wildest ideas and a sense of adventure. In the studio, your instructor will push you're making skills, working with you to troubleshoot and then try something new. This class is collaborative, with the resulting objects pushing the boundaries of casting, while students help each other and learn together. It's time to cast like nobody's watching!
