GLASS SUMMER SESSION 3
JUNE 18–30, 2023
Nancy Callan and Mel Douglas
Intertwine
Glass is a fantastic medium for dreaming up new ways to bend space, stretch time, and renew a sense of wonder. This workshop will explore the linear complexities and the unique spatial qualities of glass. Working in both the hot and cold shops, students will be challenged to look at the relationship of form, pattern, balance, and design. Through a combination of both traditional and experimental techniques, we’ll look for ways to develop objects that spatially merge surface and drawing so the form is not just a canvas for the line but a three-dimensional drawing in itself. Intermediate/advanced level: two years of hot-glass experience required. Hot-glass studio.
