Alicia Lomné, Suspiro Floreo, pâte de verre, 4-3/8 x 7-3/4 in. Alicia Lomné
- Curiously: Pâte de Verre Pâte de verre is a widely used method of glass casting that encourages patience but also lends itself to experimentation and unusual expression. In this class you will learn to make thin-walled glass forms using frit and powder in open-faced molds. We will cover several methods of exact color placement and the use of reinvestments (inclusions) in the mold. We will discuss firing schedules and the use of temperature to attain specific results. By the end of the class you should feel comfortable pouring a mold, packing it with glass, and firing it on your own. Expect to work hard and have fun. All levels.
