SilkeMat Intro

Join guest instructor Pippa in this wonderful two consecutive-day class. Learn the fundamentals of working with SilkeMat Products, including working with both regular SilkeMat and the NEW SilkeMat-Lite! Key pointers on various uses of SilkeMat Rigidizer as well as essential tools for creating your own molds.

  • Day 1 - Students will create 6 molds from a variety of supplied textured forms. (Students may bring their own forms to experiment with if they wish.)  
  • Day 2 - We will fill the molds with glass ready for firing as well as make a 7th item which will demonstrate using SilkeMat in an alternate way!  

This is a highly recommended class for artists wishing to expand their warm glass creativity, and especially understanding the multiple uses of SilkeMat Products!
