Master Class in Glass Casting with Dan Clayman

This master class in glass casting draws from 40 years of my studio work and the fabrication jobs I have done for other artists. I use PowerPoint presentations coupled with a comprehensive handout that covers basic skills and details how complex projects are brought to completion. This lecture format allows us to cover a significant amount of material, and ample time for Q&A is scheduled so participants can pose specific, project-based questions for class discussion.

Please note that this is NOT a hands-on class.

A partial list of subjects covered includes:

• History of Kiln Casting
• Overview of casting techniques
• Devitrification
• Basic plaster rules
• Numerous mold recipes
• Firing and Annealing Schedules
• Annealing Issues
• Glass choices
• Kiln design
• Large scale casting
• Jigs and fabrication

The class is beneficial for artists of all levels but in particular artists who are somewhat experienced with various glass casting methods.
