This course is for artists of any experience level wishing to better understand their own creative path through an intense and intimate “hands on” exposure to the medium of cast glass. Students will learn about timing, viscosity, gravity, heat, and light during hot studio sessions. Class will also be discussing the technical and aesthetic concerns prior and post process. Open face sand molds will be used as well as other interesting lectures, and demonstrations.

An intermediate class designed to hone pre existing glass skills; the combination of cane and the creation of the bowl form will test a student’s limits. Focusing on one form in glass will allow great understanding of the material’s capacity of movement. The inclusion of Italian cane techniques will further challenge technical ability. The bowl is one of glass’s trickiest shapes to ‘master’, this class will focus on practicing the form with attention to line and control. We will begin basic and then expand from there depending on the students’ abilities.

In this exploratory course students will combine blown and cast glass with a variety of other materials in a quasi-scientific approach. This course will be lead by a team of scientists/artists who have developed a controlled method for creating sculptural geochemical reactions. New forms and technical material will be introduced daily as the primary subject of the course. Demonstrations will focus on glass blown forms and other idiosyncratic processes. In addition to studio demos the instructors will help students navigate their own self-directed investigation into the demands and limitations of uncharted material combinations.

This intermediate glass class focuses on skill building at the furnace. It is for students who wish to gain a foundation of traditional vessel forming technique, nurturing the craft practice so to enhance the sophistication and complexity, or refine the simplicity of their own designs and concepts for glass. Techniques that will be touched on in the course include basic and complex vessel forming, bit application, goblet making, and selected color application techniques including cane work.
