Today students participated in a 2-hour glass workshop where students learned the basics of design, fusing and kiln forming. Bill Ayers (a local glass artist) gave an engaging presentation on the processes and science of glass kiln forming along with instruction in how to safely handle glass and glass tools. Students also observed the melting of a sample tile and they designed and created their own tile.
Bill will take them all to his studio today, fires them all, and will bring them back on Thursday for all the kids to take home.
Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
