Fusing on Edge with Relief Imagery In this two-day workshop students will explore a different way of kiln casting glass over the top of a refractory plaster model in a manner that will leave an image in relief in the back of the glass. Since the image will be viewed through the glass the clarity of the glass is important. Therefore we will be using clear or lightly colored glass billets or bricks of glass to achieve a look that has the optical clarity closely resembling hot glass cast from a furnace. The first day each student will create a thick glass block with relief imagery as well as other relief image components to be used in other class projects. Day two will be spent cleaning up the previous day’s work, making other components and combining them with sheet glass cut into strips and laid on edge to complete a project in the fusing on edge technique. Methods of cold working and displaying the final piece will also be discussed this day. This class is a great exercise in using several different materials such as clay, rubber mold material, refractory plaster, ceramic fiber paper, refractory brick and more. Along with an eagerness to learn students should also bring paper and pencil. This class is very “hands on” so wear clothes you won’t mind getting dirty.
