A small working group from the Festival of Glass committee
has acquired yet another skill – creating a ducted ventilation system!
 |
| The ventilation system takes shape |
On Wednesday 26 September, the group assembled, tested and then
disassembled an overhead ventilation system in a meeting room in Drysdale’s
Cafe Zoo. In the latter half of February 2019, as part of the 2019 Festival of
Glass, the ventilation system will turn Cafe Zoo’s meeting room into a
customised venue for glass art workshops.

Workshop participants will learn how to sculpt, fuse and
blow various forms of glass from our international Artists in Residence Davide Penso (Murano) and Cedric Ginart and Karina Guevin (Montreal).
The transformed room will also be the venue for a
Festival first – jewellery designer Davide Penso's Glass Jewellery Lab
– from wondering to wearing.
At each event, a dozen participants will use
gas/oxygen torches to create glass art; and in the process, they’ll create a
lot of heat!
All the details about the workshops and the Jewellery Lab
are on the Festival’s web site: www.festivalofglass.net.au
