(Past) Nathan Sandberg: Kilnformed Murrine Boxes, Oct 20-23
Oct 19-23, 2022 - Wednesday-Sunday - 10:00AM - 5:00PM (lunches included!)
4 days
8 students maximum
Give your murrine an edge in the world of murrine objects by taking the time to go a step or two further. Students in this process driven workshop will learn how to use the Vitrigraph kiln to create custom murrine that will then be used to create a kilnformed glass box. Traditional Vitrigraph murine making will be presented alongside kilncasting in an assembled vermiculite board mold system. There are no pre-requisites but interested students should have circle cutting experience and a willingness to be challenged.
Details:
Teams of 2 students work together to load and pull 2 pots of murrine. They will then use the murrine to make a rectangular blank that will eventually be used to form the sides of a 4” x 5” Kilncast box. Each student is in control of their own murrine but are available to help their partner.
Vermiculite board mold parts will need to be cut prior to my arrival.
Coldworking is an important aspect of this workshop.
