Designed Drop Out Vessels

$225

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 ā€œdropsā€ through the hole can stretch considerably, informing the design of the finished piece. Coldworking to remove the rim further transforms the piece.
During this 2 day workshop, you can choose between bubbled trapped technique and contemporary design using colorful glass , stringers and black and white checkers.

Maximalism by Vergine Madelian ā€“ Artist and open lab customer
The colorful maximalist drop out vessel was designed by our open studio student, Vergine Madelian.
Vergine is a retired university professor and research scientist in cell and molecular biology who has found her love of art in glass fusion. She describes her experience: ā€œThe brilliance and colors of glass, and the ability to manipulate it through various techniques to achieve dramatic effects fascinate me. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE every phase of working with glass: from designing to cutting, composing and firing. Itā€™s exciting and magical.ā€
