Default Glass Casting??

Does anyone know of a school or person who teaches glass casting? Or someone I can talk to about casting?

I have a customer who wants some jewelry pieces cast in glass.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The glasshouse at Lorton offers glass casting classes.. Here's a link to their description. If you contact Rick, I'm sure he'd be able to help you out.

Donna from Arrow Springs has taught Pate de Verre in the past, not certain if she is still involved.
Phone: 1(800) 899-0689

Good luck!

I called them yesterday, and acted like they didn't know who could teach it. I suppose I could call again. I know Donna and Craig and could see if they could help me out. Thank you for the suggestion, I will give them another call since you mentioned it.

Pacific Art Glass in Gardena might be able to help. I think they give workshops in kiln casting; but don't know if that's what you have in mind.

Bullseye teaches a wonderful class. Check out their online classes; I'm not sure if that one is included, but it might be. I think there are a variety of how to books on the subject.
