This exciting interdisciplinary class will focus on the combination of techniques and materials to explore bringing individual ideas from concept to completed sculptural forms. Using Zircar Mold-Mix 6, students will be directed towards a personal expression through sculpting and casting hot glass, mold blowing forms and casting elements in bronze. This finely applied mold material will allow for reproducing found and hand formed objects as well as creating relief and painted elements as inclusions inside the glass. Traditional lost wax processes combined with sculpting glass will allow the student exciting possibilities in the combination of diverse materials and individual narratives.
