This class will teach you how to utilize a mold in your construction. Dating back from the original Louis Comfort Tiffany lamps, a mold has been used to create specific shapes in glass. After you have learned this technique, you will leave with a lovely piece of art you can use every day to gather keys, soaps, or whatever you choose. Please bring your choice of a glass or ceramic bowl (no metal). It should not exceed 6” in diameter or 3” in height. A slightly larger but more shallow bowl would be acceptable.

Prequisite: Must be proficient in scoring and breaking glass, grinding, foiling, and soldering. Safety: Closed toe shoes, safety glasses, and a sense of humour are mandatory.
