Structural Approaches to Flameworking with Kit Paulson (borosilicate)

Starting with basic borosilicate flameworking techniques, this class will focus on building structures in solid glass. Working directly from scale drawings, students will learn to construct complex structural forms from small motifs. Learn through demos, illustrated hand-outs, slide shows and lots of hands-on practice. An introduction to moving parts may also be provided for those ready. Students can expect to learn the fundamentals of borosilicate flameworking as well as techniques more specific to this method of building. 

This workshop is targeted towards students with moderate glass experience looking to increase their arsenal of skills. Students are expected to have some experience working with solid borosilicate. If you are unsure that you meet the requirements, please send us an email.

Tools and materials are provided for the class and include your own kiln shelf to keep after class, glass and other supplies (value of $200).

Due to the nature of glass, students will have to return to pick up their finished pieces after they have been annealed.
