Kiln Carving Glass Sea Creatures

During this morning workshop you will create a 6mm thick textured clear glass tile with your chosen sea creature design. This could be a seahorse, crab, lobster, fish, octopus or shell, the choice is yours.

The term kiln carving was coined by Bullseye Glass USA to describe a simple kiln forming process that achieves a base relief textured or sculptured look in glass. The process involves cutting a design in ceramic fibre paper then stacking glass on top of this pattern and
firing the piece in a kiln. During firing the underside of the glass conforms to the ceramic fibre paper pattern, assuming its contours and textures. The result is a 3D effect piece.

This workshop is suitable for complete beginners or those looking to practice this glass technique.

All materials are included in the workshop fee. Please note that your tile will be fired overnight to be collected or posted at a later date.
