SilkeMat Decidedly Different Drops

SilkeMat advanced; using Barbara Cashman’s own special “Decidedly Different Drops” glass drop method you will learn a very specialized, unusual and skilled technique; keeping your glass creation and your molds!

This isn't your typical Drop Ring Vase class. We're diving headfirst into texture, bold experimentation, and the art of making glass irresistibly touchable. We'll begin by exploring the pioneering artistry of Frances & Michael Higgins - visionaries who revolutionized fused glass in the 1950's. Their innovative process of "veiling" remains one of their most mesmerizing techniques, and we'll bring it to life in new and unexpected ways.

Over the course of this unique class, you'll create three distinct vases, each designed to challenge conventional drop vessel aesthetics.

While most drop vases embrace sleek, smooth perfection, we're taking a detour - introducing texture, angles, and twists that elevate form and invite interaction. This isn't just about making something beautiful - it's about crafting pieces that demand to be touched, admired, and remembered.

By the end of this class, you'll not only walk away with stunning, one-of-a-kind vessels, and the molds to continue your experimentation, but also a new appreciation for the tactile nature of glass and its potential.
