Maker Showcase: Joshua Kerley

Join glass artist Joshua Ker­ley on his last day at the Insti­tute of Mak­ing to learn more about the res­ults of his residency. 

From fir­ing up our fuse kiln and exper­i­ment­ing with new glass forms, to explor­ing foam glass and the ancient kiln-cast­ing tech­nique of pâte de verre, drop into our Strat­ford work­shop to see his pieces, ask ques­tions about his work and dis­cov­er what you can make with glass in our workshops.
