GLASS SUMMER SESSION 6
JULY 30–AUGUST 11, 2023
Nate Watson
The Transparent Self
Through a series of personal reflections and material inquiries, we’ll identify methods for making the stories that define us visible through glass. This workshop will examine the qualities that make glass such a powerful mode of expression and help students find an honest and natural relationship with the material. We’ll cover many techniques for creating glass sculpture, including basic glassblowing, adhesives and assemblage, color application, and basic coldworking. Traditional and nontraditional processes will help you access the expression that comes from a harmony between you and the material. All levels. Hot-glass studio.
