Nd27arts P38-40 Copy.Indd THE A RTS that we mostly associate with glass, namely transparency and fragility, exploited. CREATIVE The basic materials used to make glass are silica (sand), a flux (soda or potash) and a stabiliser (for example, lime). The mixture turns into a liquid when heated to a high temperature and is then shaped through various techniques. It becomes solid when cooled. Glass is a solution and retains the random molecular structure of a liquid when it stiffens. Because it lacks a structure of interlocking crystals, it is transparent, easily USE OF GLASS shattered and deteriorates over time.

Those of us who arrived early had a chance to slip away and explore the beauty that is the Pacific Northwest. As we traveled around the area, we were surprised by the num- ber of espresso bars and coffee shops dotting the landscape. I was also struck not only by the natural beauty and culture of the area, but also by the new innovations and rich history of the large glass companies in the Pacific Northwest.

  • National Art Experience
    National Art Experience National Art Experience 2015–2016 Participant Information In partnership with Tacoma, Washington #CampFireLovesGlass Glass Glass is the 2015–16 art medium and includes a wide variety of forms, such as hot-blown, mold-blown, flame-worked, sculpted, sandblasted, fused, slumped, enameled, painted, stained, mosaic, recycled, or a combination of these techniques. By participating in the National Art Experience, you will get the opportunity to learn how artists working with the medium of glass employ a variety of hot, warm, and cold techniques. You will get to experience working with some of the glass techniques. Using small glass tiles, you could decorate objects, such as vases and picture frames. You could create jewelry from glass beads or recycled glass or build mosaic tiles. You may be able to find a glass studio to try basic fusing or glassblowing experiences. There are an amazing number of different ways that glass can be used to create unique projects. Camp Fire is continuing to follow the established six-year cycle of art mediums for the National Art Experience—painting, fibers, printmaking, photography, clay, and open medium. The 2015– 16 program year is open medium, and Camp Fire is thrilled to partner with the Museum of Glass in Tacoma, Washington, to explore glass as an art medium. The purposes of the Camp Fire National Art Experience are to enable you to explore art as a career or hobby and encourage your creativity. To participate in the Camp Fire National Art Experience, you can choose from several activities. You may do these activities with your Camp Fire group, at your Camp Fire program site, with your family, or on your own.

  • Glass Fabrication
    RESOURCE + PROCESS MANAGEMENT Glass fabrication Rima Ajlouni The University of Utah, Salt Lake City, UT ABSTRACT: In architecture, the prevalence of computational design and digital fabrication has led to an increase in exploration of casting modulated geometry using fabricated molds. However, the use of mold making strategies are often limited to casting materials that conform easily to mold geometry (i.e. concrete, plaster, resin, ceramics, etc.). It is rarely that fabrication strategies are used to explore materials with challenging behavioral properties such as glass. As a result, glass in its non-flat form has been underutilized in contemporary architecture. Because of its complicated physical behavior and the technical difficulties associated with the fabrication processes, architecture education often avoids exploring such medium. One key challenge with casting glass using fabricated refractory molds relates to understanding the behavior of glass under certain physical conditions and temperature profiles. If such parameters are not anticipated, the geometry of the final casted elements can be substantially different from the design intentions. This research argues that computation can be used to predict glass forming behavior under different temperature profiles, which can inform the design and fabrication processes. The goal is to highlight the importance of integrating the complexities of the physical reality into the design and fabrication processes, especially within the context of the educational experience. To contribute to this creative discourse this paper explores the limits of precision from computation to fabrication as it relates to casting glass. The objective is to design and test an algorithm for predicting edge/corner geometry of casted glass under different temperature profiles.
