Flow Wedges
Provide glass with an opportunity to move and it will. Contain it in a box, on an incline, and you’ll form a three-dimensional glass wedge within which one can witness the suspended flow. These palm-size wedges make great, three-dimensional paperweights or sun catchers or simply light/color sculptures that absolutely stand out. Given their shape they are super stable on their own, without a stand or base to distract from the beauty within. They can also be produced in smaller/shallow kilns. Likewise, the process is easily scalable.

If you are new to glass working, one thing that will be abundantly clear after class is how much of an investment in time and money kiln-glass can be. Tools and materials are not inexpensive and there are many that are necessary for success. The facilities at OnGrade Studio are available to rent if you need a place to work after class. Alternatively, you can apply your new and/or refreshed skills to kiln-glass projects in your personal studio. I’m happy to discuss home studio setup during our time together in the studio.
