Please Note: This class takes place in the New Kamilche area. Registered students will be sent the address prior to the start of the course.
In this one-session workshop, you will be making two beautiful 7"x7" glass tiles imprinted with the shapes of leaves or other textured objects. Glass tile colors can be iridescent crystal clear, royal blue, or forest green.
You will press your objects into clay, pour plaster over your design, and use your molds to create kiln-cast tiles that will capture your chosen objects in relief. You are encouraged to bring a variety of textured plant specimens or other flat objects to press into the clay slab for your personal tile's composition.
All glass materials and supplies are included. For safety, please wear closed toe shoes and long pants, and tie hair back in the glass studio. Working with plaster material also requires an N95 dust mask. This is a beginning level course with no prior experience necessary. Your finished tiles can be picked up at Arbutus Folk School's downtown location the week after the course ends during open hours: Monday 10am-1pm/6-9pm, Tuesday 10am-1pm, Wednesday 10am-1pm, Thursday 2-5pm, or Sunday 9am-3pm.
