Explore line and form in glass. You’ll develop a basic skill set for working on a lampworking torch. We’ll focus on building structures out of solid borosilicate rod by exploring line. You’ll learn joinery for kinetic parts, shaping and sculpting, networking and “drawing” with the glass. Through the use of repetition and multiples, we’ll explore form and line to create objects and installations through the deconstruction of line sketches. You’ll walk away from this multi-week course with a completed portfolio piece. Demonstrations will include geometric structures, botanicals, networking and joints for kinetic parts. This is a beginner to intermediate level course. If you’ve never lamp-worked before, don’t worry! We will start with the basics.
