GLASSBLOWING AND SAND CASTING WORKSHOPS, LEITRIM SCULPTURE CENTRE
Glassblowing for Beginners
In this two-day workshop participants will explore the extraordinary medium of hot glass. How to gather glass out of the furnace, to control and shape the hot glass, to blow a bubble and make a simple vessel will be taught. Working in two small teams, the emphasis of this course is hands-on experience, with demos and support from experienced trainers.
Dates: Sat 26th & Sun 27th November
Mon 28th & Tue 29th November
Trainers: Louise Rice & Graham Reid
Course Fees: €240 (two days), 10am – 5pm
Participants: 4, no previous experience required
Sand Casting with Hot Glass
This two day course will introduce the potential of molten glass as a creative material through the process of hot casting into sand moulds. Participants will have the opportunity to ladle glass straight from the furnace and pour right into prepared ‘open faced’ sand moulds using found and sculpted objects. This is the most direct method to create your own solid sculptural forms in glass. All materials are provided, but feel free to bring in your own objects to press in the sand. Appropriate footwear is a must: leather boots are preferred, leather shoes acceptable; no open-toed shoes or sandals!
Dates: Sat 3rd & Sun 4th December
Trainer: Keith Seybert

Advanced Refractory Mouldmaking for Kiln Cast Glass & Bronze Casting Workshop
Friday 21st – Sunday 23rd October 2011
Trainer: Keith Seybert. Course Fees: €200 (three days) 10am – 5pm
Participants: 8. Experience: Some basic experience required.
This workshop will cover how to make a successful investment type refractory mould for casting Bronze or Glass. You come with a vision, a wax and a will to work, and you’ll leave with a mould ready to “burn out” and pour in the next bronze workshop. Mould construction, “Gating & venting”, investment refractories, and ceramic based mould materials will be discussed with an aim towards enabling participants to “customise” their approach to fit their vision. Both poured “block” moulds and Roman/Italian “hand built” moulds will be demonstrated.
Bronze Casting Using Solid Investment Workshop
Thursday 3rd - Sunday 6th November 2011
Trainer: Tim Morris. Course Fees: €370 (four days) -10am to 5pm
Participants: 8. Experience: No experience required
Participants will make a piece of sculpture working directly with wax, vent and sprew, make an investment mould and cast their own piece on the final day to make a finished bronze. On this course, you will get to make probably two moulds, depending upon their size and complexity. One of which you will have time to melt out and pour in the bronze. Generally, a beginner will come away with a minimum of one rough bronze (for example a 6" statue or axe head). You may not have time to file and clean it, but this can be done in your own time. Finished bronzes can then be patinated on the Patination Workshop. Extra moulds can be poured at another time. Your work will be weighed on the last day and anything over 10lbs will be charged at €5 / lb. For example, two 6" statues will generally be less than 10lbs, so for most people, no extra payment will be necessary.

MOULDMAKING FOR ARTISTS AND ARCHITECTS WORKSHOP, LEITRIM SCULPTURE CENTRE
Keith Seybert will lead this workshop on Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th October 2011. The workshop will cover a variety of mould making techniques, including: multi-part, plaster bandage, dental alginate, and silicone. There will be a discussion of ‘separators’, fillers, coddling approaches and best practice. These primary moulds will then be used to make multiple positives including some waxes. The resultant waxes will be used to facilitate an investigation of refractory mould making techniques and materials that have proven valuable in casting both metal and glass via the lost wax process. The information shared in this workshop has applications in art as well as architectural restoration. The course costs €130 for two days.
