GLASS – SUMMER SESSION 5
July 14-26, 2024 (11 STUDIO DAYS)
Jin Hongo and Robert Lewis
Color and Form
In this workshop we will design works using a palette of colors made in Penland’s color furnace. These colors will create parameters for the design and form of our sculpture and functional work. A mix and match approach to making work will let us focus on our conversation and analysis around basic principles of design, refining proportions, ergonomics, and how process can inspire concepts. We will cover both blown and solid forms. Collaboration is highly encouraged. All levels. Hot glass studio.
