THIS WORKSHOP IS SOLD OUT! Join the wait list at https://ormondartmuseum.app.neoncrm.com/forms/708Create three Vitra Fossils of leaves from the OMAM gardens in this unique workshop and learn their botanical names. Vitra Fossil (often called fossil vitra) is a kiln-formed fused glass art technique. Artists place real organic materials—such as leaves, ferns, or flower petals—under or between sheets of glass, coat them in powdered glass or frit, and fire them in a kiln. The intense heat burns away the plant material entirely, leaving behind a permanent, detailed glass imprint or "fossil" of the plant's shape and veins. Vitra is a word that refers to glass. So, basically one creates an artificial imprint fossil in glass. A sifter will be used to apply the glass powder with a very special technique. All of the materials will be provided. Anytime you are using glass powders we suggest wearing a mask, which will be provided. LC and Tommy will fire the artwork created in class, and it will be available for pickup about a week later. Participants will receive an email when it’s ready.
