GLASS – SUMMER SESSION 3
June 16-28, 2024 (11 STUDIO DAYS)
Einar de la Torre and Jamex de la Torre
The Anti-Purist Rapture

This workshop is a two-for-one deal: a sculpting workshop in the hot-glass studio and a mixed-media workshop in the classroom. In the hotshop students will make new pieces using bit working, hot assemblage, torch working, and powder pattern pick-ups. In the classroom we will cover various adhesives and coatings used to construct mixed-media assemblages. Students should bring materials they are familiar with, including found objects, to inspire mixed-media work. Our aim is to collectively think outside the object-making box. We will encourage a questioning process to make sure that hot glass—or any other medium, for that matter—works for you, the artist, and not the other way around. Students should be interested in sharing an experimental environment. Some hot glass experience will be helpful, but this workshop is open to all levels. Hot glass studio.
