The Studio

This one's for the whole reason I came to Prague, glass work. In this studio we practice using different kiln and cold working techniques when manipulating glass. As of right now we are just using the kiln to make our pieces.The first day we worked with float glass, which is just window glass. We actually made pieces on the very first day!! By the second day he (Benton Jones, aka our teacher) had us working with colored glass to create pieces.There are several options that you can use to add some sparkle to your glass. You have frit, glass rods, and glass paint. Our weekend homework was to make clay objects of something, anything!! I ended up making a kio fish.Today we filled in our molds with glass, which we had made yesterday. This class is awesome and we've only had 4 days!!! (there are a ton of pictures that go with this post but do to blogger not liking me at the moment they will have to wait for another day :( ) I hope everyone is having a fabulous summer!!!!!
