We’ve decided it would be loads of fun to have a series of contests for projects made with float glass.
The objective is to encourage experimentation with design ideas for working with float glass and share those ideas with others.
We are in the process of setting up all the final details and subbmissions page for the contest.
Please stay tuned. We will post any notifications on our Fun With Float Facebook page. CLICK HERE to visit.
1. Materials used must be 100% float glass. Nothing else added. No frit. No enamels. No mica. No coloring additives. No metals. No glass of any other kind. Nothing other than clear float glass.
2. No restrictions for technique. It can be fused, it can be kiln cast, it can be pour cast, it can be sandblasted or it can be flameworked. It can be pieces glued together or it can even be something assembled by telepathic Jedi mind control.
3. No size restrictions. It can be as small as a bumble bee or as big as a battleship. It can be a suncatcher handing between two silicon atoms or it can be a glass staircase reaching from your home to the orbiting space station. Surprise us.
4. It must have been made by the individual or group entering the contest. You can’t submit work you didn’t do.
4. No age or location restriction. It doesn’t matter how old you are or where you are. We will even accept submissions from off planet – as long as they are certified “Made by Humans”.
5. No copies of anything covered by copyright or trademark – remembering only a specific design is protected by copyright. Techniques and ideas are not copyrighted so you are free to use them.
