Murrini Weekend
Bay Area Glass Institute - BAGI

J. Schmuck

9:00 am - 5:00 pm

We  will have two days of working in the studio, beginning with making bundled  murrinis in the glory hole while kilnforming more complex murrini designs which will be pulled the second day.  We will cut up the pulls from our first day  and arrange them in the kiln for further firing. This class will demonstrate how  to make these hot-worked and kilnformed elements and how to use them in a  secondary firing with all the attendant coldworking. We will also examine the characteristics of working in the glory hole and the kiln to form these different decorative parts and how to easily utilize these processes in your work.
