Form & Motion

This workshop will focus on the foundations of glass and creative exploration through the dynamic process of glassblowing. Students will learn the proper form, tools, and techniques to work with glass in the studio. We will highlight proper body mechanics, working in multiples, and repetition to hone important foundational skills. The first week will be dedicated to form and skill building, followed by practicing those skills in exploring conceptual development, personal narrative, and thoughtful design. With this hands-on, in-depth learning environment, you will leave with a new material language to add to your creative toolbox. This workshop is intended for beginners.

We will focus on what makes glass such a unique artistic material. Improving on the fundamentals of glassblowing—gathering, turning, heating, bubble-prep, teamwork, etc.—can free your creative voice. Bring a list of what interests you (not just what you want to make) and we will workshop how to creatively experiment in the hotshop to express and evolve these ideas. Techniques covered will include traditional glassblowing, color applications, torch-working, hot-sculpting, and assemblage, as methods to bring your vision to life. Glassblowing experience required.
