Dive into the world of vitrigraph with Rob Traylor in this immersive 4-hour workshop. Make cane and stringers, learn techniques for setting up your vitrigraph for murrini and thicker glass cane production.
Pull your own stringers/cane and learn how to prepare pots for stunning results. This workshop is suitable for beginners, intermediate, and advanced fusers alike. All glass is provided and participants will share the stringers pulled. If you bring a group, request the specific COE of glass be used (usually use COE 96).
Bring safety glasses and leather gloves, wear closed-toe shoes, long sleeves, and long pants for a safe experience.
Email to: [email protected] if you use COE 90 glass so the instructor can set up at least one vitrigraph with it.
