Glass sand casting with Jon Lewis & Ewa Wawrzyniak

Classes
Written By Michael Lakeland

Sand casting in glass is a very creative and exciting experience. Each person will design and make three glass pieces during the day which they can take away after a three day cooling process in a kiln.

Participants will first design and create sand moulds using forms, shapes and colours with the opportunity to add pieces of metal. Molten glass from the furnace is then poured into the moulds to create amazing and unique glass art works. The resulting glass pieces are always amazing and surprising.  The sand casting sessions suit first timers and professionals equally.

One day sand casting session - 10.30am to  4/5pm.

Fees: £150 per person for three moulds
