Silicone Mould Making and Cast Glass Workshop

A 3-Day Art Experience with Lou Mathieson

Step into the luminous world of lead crystal glass casting in this unique, hands-on workshop led by acclaimed glass artist Lou Mathieson.

Following on from her last successful 'glass bowls' workshop....

What You'll Do:

Option 1: Learn how to make a silicon mold from a found object or from clay. This is amazing! Bring several found objects and favorite bottles (with a stopper size opening) that could possibly be transformed through making your own mold into a glass stopper for your bottle.

Option 2: Bring several examples of found objects of small birds already made in clay, ceramic, plastics, wood etc that can be displayed mounted on garden stakes or on the wall or in the garden or another small object that can be transformed in glass.

Please keep the objects you make small.
