Color Chemistry 101

Curious about making your own glass COLOR? This class will cover the basics of glass CHEMISTRY AND COLOR MAKING. Students will learn about a variety of glass COLORANTS AND THE DIFFERENT MECHANISMS BY WHICH THEY CREATE COLOR, and participate in formulating and mixing three different COLORS FROM RAW MATERIAL. The second half of the class will be spent working the glass directly out of the crucible kiln. Class will also cover methods for determining annealing temperature, compatibility, and approximate coefficient of expansion in the hot shop. Some glassblowing experience is preferred but not required. Open to all skill levels. with Evan Voelbel Weekend Workshop | 2 Sessions: June 6 - 7 Saturday and Sunday, 10 AM - 5 PM
