Glass Casting Workshop
Feeling very grateful to have joined a 3-day glass casting workshop at Taoxichuan Glass Studio @taoxichuanglassartstudio @jdzinternationalstudio with our resident friend, Argentinian glass artist Antonella Perrone @el.silencio.es.fuego .
Learning a new material during this residency has been such a gift. We explored how transparent glass lets you see not only the surface, but the inside, the back, the in-between.
The exercise was about “emptiness” making form through the missing parts. Using silica–plaster moulds, the void becomes the sculpture, creating a beautiful floating effect inside the glass.
I’m so used to building with clay. Glass asked me to think by removing. Still thinking about how absence can be a material.
Transparent glass allows us to see through the object itself, to glimpse its surface, interior, and the existence behind it. Taoxichuan Glass Studio, together with artist Antonella Perrone, is launching a 3-day glass casting workshop. The workshop will explore the sculptural form of “emptiness” perceiving shape through the “missing parts.”
The course will introduce silica–plaster mould techniques, using the “absence” within the glass material to create a floating, sculptural effect.
