No prior experience necessary. INSTRUCTOR Alicia Lomné works with the glass kiln casting technique of Pâte de Verre. Literally translated from French it means "paste of glass". The process includes creating a model, making a mold, placing thin layers of powdered or frit within the mold, and then firing the piece in a kiln. Alicia works primarily with open-faced molds and is most compelled by the exact color placement and sculptural possibilities that Pâte de Verre offers.
