October included several workshops which I particularly enjoyed facilitating including Kiln Carving at the Kerr Arts and Cultural Center (KACC) and Liquid Glass at Wired Designs Studio.

In Kiln Carving at the KACC students learned to sculpt in glass using time, temperature and gravity as their your tools. They designed and created bas relief images and textures in fiber paper which were used to form the impressions in glass. I enjoyed the opportunity to meet and talk to a fascinating group of students including one who was working with glass in the flame and a fellow Artisan's artist who typically works in clay.

Just this past weekend was a Liquid Glass workshops at Wired Designs. Students learned techniques which all take place at kilnforming temperatures from1600-1700 degrees Fahrenheit including combing/raking, pot melts, wire mesh melts and high-fires. My favorite part was watching them work as a team through the combing/raking process. They did such a great job!
