GLASS – SUMMER SESSION 2
JUNE 1-13, 2025 (11 STUDIO DAYS)
Sarah Blood
Light, Weight, and the Sublime
This intensive workshop in neon and mixed-media will focus on skill development, experimentation, and personal expression. Through demonstration, presentations, discussions, and hands-on experience, we will explore traditional and non-traditional neon techniques and their integration with mixed-media. Students will engage in tasks designed to foster rigorous and thoughtful artmaking. By applying these techniques in both the studio and the sketchbook, they will develop a focused approach to exploring ideas, allowing for both creative expression and technical proficiency with a goal of developing a vocabulary in neon and mixed materials. Working with neon is technically difficult and failure will be a large part of the learning process. During the workshop we will come to understand the value of failure as part of the creative process and what it can teach us in all areas of our lives. All levels.
