Drape it with stringers

Leave a Comment /
Learn from the artist and make your own stunning drape !

What is glass draping? Draping glass over a mold uses a mold  (usually stainless steel) without any undercuts, allowing heat and gravity to drape the glass over the mold in the kiln. With the guidance of our artist/instructor,  you will use stringers, long and thin stands of glass and arrange them in a grid or plaid like arrangement. You get to pick the colors! The stringers are fused together (first firing) to create a square tile and than we drape it on the mold. During the drape firing process, the glass becomes flexible and “drapes” around the mold.

The weaving/plaid design vase will brighten any home !

Mondrian design drop out

Leave a Comment /

Piet Mondrian -1918

Mondrian created a style based on pure geometry. For Mondrian, a grid-pattern composition of horizontal and vertical lines could represent the universal harmony of the world. He used only straight lines and rectangles (harmony and order), and the primary colors – red, blue and yellow (the most basic and pure) – along with three noncolors – white, black and gray.
A drop-out vessel is created by slumping a piece of glass through an elevated mold with a hole in the center. The part of the glass that “drops” through the hole can stretch considerably, significantly informing the design of the finished piece.

Inspired by Mondrian design you will focus on how to successfully design and create beautiful drop vessel form. You will create a 10×10 square drop out bowl and an 8×8 drape/slump project.

Saturday February 11 @10:00am-1:00pm FULL
