Celebrate Spring! 5 Evening Classes

Service Description

In this fused glass class we will celebrate spring and it’s exuberance by exploring botanical portraits and spring landscapes in a variety of ways with glass! We will playfully put our hand to fun drawing techniques, such as contour drawing, and continuous line drawing. We will learn different types of mark making techniques, as a basis and inspiration for our glass art works. Students will then translate these playful drawings into unique glass projects. We will sculpt with wire and fuse it into glass, use thin glass stringers of different thicknesses, and create compositions for dynamic drawings about spring in glass. We will draw details of our botanicals with ceramic pencils on glass. Finally students will get the opportunity to combine their favorite techniques into a final glass art project over the last classes. We will be looking at artists who drew in space or inspired abstraction by pioneering new ways of working with line, shape, and color such as Alexander Calder, Wassily Kandinsky, Sol LeWitt, and Hilma af Klimt. This class requires no previous glass experience, and you definitely don’t need to be experienced with drawing either. It only requires an open mind and a thirst for creating in a small group studio setting. If you do come with experience and skills, these will be enjoyed and put to good use in your glass work. This class accommodates all levels.
