This workshop is an introduction to the ancient technique of pate de verre, working with crushed and paste glass. Emphasis will be on 2 simple methods of making pdv, using various sized crushed glass frits fired into a sheet and kiln formed beads using glass paste. No mold making is required.

Over 3 days you will learn how to prepare, form and fire the glass components (including páte de verre beads formed in the kiln), experiment with inclusions such as wire, gold leaf and dichroic glass. When cold the glass will be cut into shapes and using simple wire techniques create five pieces of stunning páte de verre necklaces, pendants and earrings to be taken home.

Students should wear covered footwear (no thongs, sandals) and bring safety glasses, notebook and pens. All materials, equipment and morning/afternoon teas & coffees will be supplied. (Bring your own lunch or see catering options.)

• Glass preparation
• Firing pdv, sheet & beads
