About

Glass can be heated to a plastic, almost flowing state to drop through an open shaped mold to form taller shapes than can be achieved with a standard slumping mold.  Coldworking provides a finished edge to the dropped shape. 

During the first day of class, you will learn design considerations for creating a drop out blank and then have time to create a blank for a 4¾ inch bowl.  You will also learn to use the coldworking equipment to finish the edge of a 3-inch pre-made dropped bowl.

On the second day of class, you will witness a drop out in progress and learn the steps to set up the kiln and glass blank for your own drop out.  You will need to schedule a date to drop your blank and finish your bowl’s edge during an open studio. 

This class is designed for those with fusing experience.

Skill level: Advanced Beginners and Intermediate

Nancy Adams

Nancy Adams has loved everything glass since she was a young child. During the '70s, she dabbled in stained glass and discovered playing with fused glass at Mesolini Glass Studio on Bainbridge Island. She became intrigued with techniques and processes for manipulating the glass. Her 2017 retirement opened the door for the opportunity to pursue glass experimentation and to share with others what she has learned.
