Advanced Pate de Verre
We will provide you with a clay base. You will be able to carve shallow relief designs into the clay or add thin clay designs to the surface. You will make a plaster silica mold of your clay piece. You will then personalize the project using a palette of glass frits and fill the shell of the mold with a frit paste. Your piece will then be dried and back-filled prior to firing. The final piece will be a 4”x4” hollow form that, despite its delicate and sugary appearance, is a strong and long lasting work of art.
All materials, tools and firing cost will be provided. Finished piece will be ready for pick up on November 22.
