KSI: KILNFORMING SCENE INVESTIGATION • FREE SPECIAL EVENT
Nathan Sandberg

Sunday, August 17, 2008 • 1-4pm
Bullseye Resource Center
RSVP August 5-15

Do you know devitrification when you see it? When is the firing cycle the culprit? Why does some glass break? When does it break? What are the limits of Tested Compatible glasses? This session expands on the wildly popular session KSI: Kiln-Glass Studio from BECon 2005. In this interactive investigation, we break into teams working with sample pieces and the firing cycles for those samples. Then we come together to discuss our findings and conduct an in-depth review of how they fit the theory of firing, specific glass chemistries, and other kilnforming principles. Learn more...

 

SEPTEMBER 2008

BULLSEYE CLASSES AT C3 STUDIOS
Textures in Kiln-Glass
Led by Nathan Sandberg
Sept. 19-20 (9-5pm) & 22 (6-9pm)

C3 Studios, Duluth, GA

This intensive workshop will introduce beginning-to-intermediate-level artists to a multitude of ways that textures can be created in kiln-glass projects. Students will do a series of texturcises (texture + exercises), using sand beds, ceramic-fiber molds, plaster-silica molds, frit, and multiple firings to begin building a generous vocabulary of techniques they can subsequently use in their own studios. The focus of this class will be on creating samples (not finished work), but students will find that the methods taught can easily be adapted to fit many types kilnforming projects—from architectural installations to works destined for a gallery.
