Clay is an excellent medium from which to make molds for slumping glass. Once made and fired, these molds can be used indefinitely. During this workshop, students will get a brief overview of the fusing and slumping process. Shel will demonstrate and discuss making handbuilt and wheel thrown molds, making negatives from positives, and making molds from existing objects. Students will design and make their own mold along with a glass piece to slump into their mold. All levels of experience welcome.
