Glass casting

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Glass casting is the process in which glass objects are cast by directing molten glass into a mould where it solidifies. The technique has been used since the Egyptian period. Modern cast glass is formed by a variety of processes such as kiln casting, or casting into sand, graphite or metal moulds.

Learn to make plaster of paris molds (one reverse mold and one to carve your own design). The molds will hold your glass bits and be fired during the week (you'll be given a firing schedule for future use). You will also learn to saw and to solder.

On the 2nd Saturday you will design and saw your bezel and bale and then make your own prongs to be soldered to the bezel.

You should finish with two beautiful pendants.
