Special Halloween, Day of the Dead inspired workshops @nanopod Studio
Wednesday, October 22nd – Celebrate Dia de los Muertos and create a Day of the Dead glass “sugar” skull! This workshop is a great introduction to pâte de verre, which uses granules of glass to create sculptural forms. Students are provided with a plaster silica skull mold and pâte de verre methods and design options are demonstrated.
Each student personalizes their ‘sugar’ skull using glass powders and fill their molds with a frit paste. Student pieces will then be kiln-dried and back-filled prior to a final firing.
Pieces will be fired after the workshop and available for pick-up a few days later.
October 22nd, 6:30-9:30pm
$110 pp, ALL materials included. 12 student max. Ages: 12 to adult welcome!
