Glass Studio

Grade level: 9,10,11,12

Course Credit: ½ credit, 5 periods/week, one semester

Description:

This class will give students that have had an earlier Stained Glass class an opportunity to further their craft skills and art design skills using glass. Each student will create one large window and mosaic artwork of their own design. Included in those designs will be materials created from further experimentation with glass which will include glass fusing (the melting glass together in layers in a kiln), glass slumping (melting glass in a kiln over objects to make them three dimensional), glass etching (a process used to create designs in sheet glass), and flame working (this process allows students to create their own glass beads). Instruction on the safe use of equipment and materials will be stressed.

Prerequisite: Students must have successfully completed the class Stained Glass.

Fee: $50.00 lab fee (includes safety glasses).
