7th Grade Makes Glass Fusing Slump Molds
7th grade students have been exploring the world of glass design over the past month, contemplating arrangements of shapes and colors to create pleasing patterns and images.
Today students learned the fundamentals of glass fusing, and began creating their own ceramic slump molds for their own glass bowls. Students will work to finalize and perfect these molds and will revisit their fusing skills as 8th graders when student materials are renewed and their glass bowls can be made.
Students will create 2D imagery using fused glass for this years TBS Student Art Show.
This video demonstrates crushing glass bottles to create recycled fused glass bowls.
This video is a great demonstration of recycling glass into new shapes and colors, and also shows the necessity for a mold if you want your melted glass to retain a width of more than a 1/4".
This tutorial shows a unique way of creating new fused glass to create a new colorful design.
