About the lesson

All languages in which the lesson is available :

English

Pâte de Verre is a glass making technique that translates to "paste of glass".

Glass powder is mixed with a binder (glue), for example Gum Arabic, PVA Glue or Gelatine. The glass paste is applied to the surface of a plaster mould. This mould is then fired in my on-site kiln.

The workshop will last for two hours (please see the workshop rate details). You will learn how to create your own designs on pre-made plaster moulds, mix the glass and binder to make the glass paste and apply the paste to your mould.

This workshop is perfect for someone who is new to glass, wants to learn a new glass technique, would like a fun activity to share with friends and/or family, looking for the perfect gift or wants to add a new project to their University application.

The schedule of the workshop:
Introduction to tutor and Pâte De Verre technique.
Tutor will demo how to create designs on pre-made moulds and how to mix and apply glass paste to the mould.
Student/s create their own designs and apply glass paste to moulds.
Load kiln with Final Pieces.
***The kiln firing will take a week - Please note that if the temperature of my studio is above 32 degrees I won't fire the kiln as this can cause issues with the firing and glass may not fire correctly. I will let you know the date of collection if I need to hold off the kiln firing.
