Buy it. Break it. Bin it. The life story of a glass object in six words. At this workshop you will revive damaged objects made from glass using hand tools and studio equipment in the glass workshop in the School of Art at ANU. Techniques include cutting and slicing, applying textures and effects, gluing with optically refractive epoxy glues and hand finishing techniques. Come along and learn new ways to take control of your damaged goods and help steward this brilliant material into old age.
