“Kilncarvingā is a term coined at Bullseye GlassĀ to describe a simple kilnforming process that achieves a bas relief, textured, or sculpted look in glass. The process involves cutting
a pattern or design in ceramic fiber paper, then stacking glass on top of the pattern and firing the piece in a kiln. During firing, the underside of the glass conforms to the ceramic fiber paper pattern, assuming its contours and textures
Kilncarving is a good beginning technique. In trying it, you can learn how glass reacts with heat at various temperatures, and you can achieve some beautiful shapesand patterns with only minimal glass cutting and fusing
This course is recommended for beginners. No experience required
