This course introduces principles and processes for kiln casting of glass. Techniques for mould making, casting and cold finishing are taught. Set projects are aimed at developing the student's ability to work the material, as well as integrate thematic ideas within a developing practice. Lectures and group discussions assist students to develop an informed understanding of artists and designers within the field, as well as locate their developing works within the broader field of craft, design and visual arts practice. The course is designed to accommodate learning for students with different levels of experience. Work health and safety (WHS) instruction is integrated throughout the syllabus.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:
- competently utilise a range of glass kiln casting processes and cold working techniques in response to set tasks and self-directed projects;
- critically reflect upon and independently explore processes introduced;
- investigate the relationships between contextual research and successfully apply this to material investigation; and
- demonstrate reflective awareness within the field of contemporary glass practice and links to other creative production relevant to their own developing practice.
