Ian Chadwick
Advanced Pattern Making in Kiln-Formed Glass
$1250.00
Class Description:
In this class participants will explore principles of advanced pattern forming in fused glass. Using pre-
formed Bullseye coloured glass striped sheets, students will expand their knowledge and experience
of kiln-forming and cold-working techniques to produce intricate patterns which utilize symmetry and
geometry to create hypnotising mandala-like patterns.
Participants will be guided through the creation of Bullseye glass striped sheets which once fired will
be deconstructed and reassembled. Participants will learn how the arrangement of tone and colour
can enhance the optical properties of the pattern design and how to lay out the pattern using
principles of four-fold and eight-fold symmetry. Students will utilise these concepts and techniques to
create a 25cm x 25cm glass tile of their own design.
The class will also cover Ian’s most recent techniques of manufacture and surface cold-working.
Participants on this class must ideally be of an intermediate level, accurate hand cutting of glass is
fundamental to this class, although techniques to improve your cutting, and ultimately your
confidence, will be covered in this class.
