What’s Your Superpower?
Everyone has a superpower, but it takes practice and discipline to discover it. This workshop will provide tools to help students identify and navigate their unique connections to the world and then focus on their findings through glass. The formula is attention, repetition, iteration. Each student will decide on a single subject/motif/idea, make a prototype, then make multiples and iterations. The end result could be a stand-alone sculpture or the beginning of a larger installation. Demonstrations will cover various techniques to address students’ specific interests, including blown forms, patterns and texture, basic hot sculpting, hot/cold assembly, and plaster mold blowing. All levels.
