About

Glass can be heated to a plastic, almost flowing state to drop through an open shaped mold to form taller shapes than can be achieved with a standard slumping mold.  Coldworking provides a finished edge to the dropped shape. 

During the first day of class, you will learn design considerations for creating a drop out blank and then have time to create a blank for a 4¾ inch bowl.  You will also learn to use the coldworking equipment to finish the edge of a 3-inch pre-made dropped bowl.

On the second day of class, you will witness a drop out in progress and learn the steps to set up the kiln and glass blank for your own drop out.  You will need to schedule a date to drop your blank and finish your bowl’s edge during an open studio. 

This class is designed for those with fusing experience.

Skill level: Advanced Beginners and Intermediate
