Workshop for Glass Painting and Glass Processing
Mon–Thu 10 am–5 pm and by appointment
Weißenhof Campus,
Altbau, Rooms 300–301
The workshop offers a wide range of opportunities, from traditional stained glass to research and experimental work with the material.
The focus is on personalised support, offering tailored advice and assistance with the design and implementation of artistic and study-related projects – within the context of material-specific properties, theoretical principles and craft processes.
In addition to project-based one-to-one tuition, concise introductory courses cover the basics of materials and their processing. Glass as a transparent material, painting, imagery, as well as spatial and architectural installations and glass objects
Facilities
- Glass bearings made from different materials
- Basic equipment for glass painting, leaded glass, fusing and slumping, including light tables, a glass-cutting and screen-printing table, kilns and a sandblasting unit
- Glass casting workshop equipped with furnaces and grinding machines for finishing, and the construction of moulds specifically for glass
Range of courses
Three compact introductory courses in stained glass and one course in lead-glasswork held during the semester provide an introduction to the workshop, materials and working techniques. The key aspects of each technique are taught through both theory and practice.
Open workshop sessions for broadening knowledge, deepening understanding and experimental work.
Personalised support in the development and realisation of artistic and study-specific projects, combined with the teaching of theory, technical processes and an understanding of the specific properties of materials.
One-to-one tuition and class projects. The workshop month is set aside for project work.
Glass Casting Workshop
Kiln casting / ‘Pâte de verre’
Kiln casting (glass melted in a mould) is a form of three-dimensional glasswork. A model serves as the basis for a heat-resistant mould, in which glass is melted in a kiln. Depending on the project, various refractory mould-building methods are used to create bespoke glass objects.
Led by lecturer Simone Fezer, a multi-part workshop held in two-day blocks.
