Adult Workshop - Kiln carving
Kiln carving is a simple kiln forming process which adds texture and relief to glass. It refers to the “carving” effect given to the glass which takes place in the kiln during a firing cycle,using fibre paper to create a design, with the glass fired on top of this to create relief. We will look at the materials and techniques needed, kiln firing and precise temperature control, to create a spoon rest and a hanging decoration or serving platter, made from upcycled wine bottles

NOTE: Due to the firing and cooling down processes involved with all glassmaking it is not possible for participants to take work home on the day it is made. Work needs to be fired and cool slowly in
