Pate de Verre: Particle Possibilities
Taught in my Portland, Oregon studioNovember 16 - 20 2015
Limited to 6 students Pate de verre is an ancient glass casting technique using finely crushed glass packed into negative molds and kiln fired to create sculptural objects with subtle luminosity. The technique allows the artist to control color placement, shading and degree of translucency unique to this casting process.
This 5 day, hands-on class will introduce student to the many possibilities of working sculpturally using pate de verre. Students will create original, full size, 3 dimensional sculptures or vessels to be cast into glass, build a refractory mold, make color and texture samples, pack the mold with their choice of colors based on the samples, and fire the project. The class will cover:
Designing for pate de verre; low relief, high relief.
Effects of particle size and temperature on glass. Students will make samples to illustrate this.
Making and managing color samples.
Various refractory mold materials options.
Mold making techniques; poured/block molds, shell molds, multiple part molds for pate de verre.
The mysteries of sprues, vents, reservoirs, and crucibles explained. Students will make 2 projects and several samples.
