About

This class has been postponed.

This three session class is specifically designed to utilize the glass and metal studio. This unique technique transfers the extraordinary details of clay into a timeless piece of glass art. 

Students will create open face bas relief castings making them from their hand carved  clay masters.

In Session 3, students will then visit our Metal Arts Welding studio to learn how to spot weld a simple stand designed to support & display their castings.

Please bring a sketch book as well as any preferred sculpting tools, a particulate respirator if you have one, if not dust masks will be supplied, as well as any favorite carving tools.

No experience necessary.


An additional materials fee of $40 will be added to the class tuition when you register.

Bas Relief: sculptural relief in which  images project slightly from the background.

Instructor Bios:

Robin Hoerth was born in Ohio and has a B.F.A. in sculpture from Mount Saint Joseph University. Upon graduation she moved to Kingston, Washington to apprentice under Jennifer Caldwell-Umphress where she now makes her living as a glass artist. Robin has been drawn to art her whole life, first through two-dimensional practices then sculpture. She was drawn to glass because of its beauty, difficulty, and versatility. By reflecting on her own life she is able to create a narrative within the piece that creates a profound dialogue between complex compositions.

Henry Sharpe is an amateur welder and the Studio Lead for BARN welding.
