Mold-ed
Expand your understanding of kiln-formed glass using unconventional mold-making methods and various glass formats. In this course, you will complete a series of small exercises, developing small works that nurture big ideas. While reimagining what a mold can be with base materials, Plaster and Silica, students will have the opportunity to utilize the water jet cutter, 3D printers, and CNC capabilities on campus. While technology is not the focus, it will become an accessory/tool. Students will come away with a broadened skill set and a dozen small projects, no matter your skill level.
