Fusing with Frits & Textured Tray Molds

This hands-on project workshop will be taught by accomplished local artist xxxxx xxx. Each student will be making their own personal piece using one of the frit molds below. Xxxxx will instruct you on how to apply frits to the textured, embossed molds. Xxxx will also discuss shading techniques to obtain different effects along with how to apply a base layer for thickness. Projects can be kiln-fired a 2nd time to slump it over a secondary mold – great for a holiday gift!!! (No experience needed!)

 

Discussion, Design, and Application (4 hours)

  • Design and layout help from Xxxx
  • Learn to apply colors in different layers to create depth and contrast in a textured mold
  • Working with frits, sifters, powder vibe, and spoons to apply colors to mold
  • Discussion about the multiple steps between fusing and a finished slumped vessel
  • Load projects into the kiln, answer questions, and critique
  • Discuss ways of displaying the finished projects – metal stands, rubber feet, hanging tabs, etc…

 

The photos below, of our sample projects, are for inspiration and you will actually design with your own ideas and colors. We do ask you pick a specific design and relay that to our office at least 5 days prior to class. We need to prepare the molds ahead of time for use.
