Karina Guevin and Cedric Ginart
"HAPPILY, EVER AFTER"
May 20 - 24, 2024 (5-day workshop)
Students' inherent creativity will be stimulated in this course focusing on building a solid foundation of technical skill at the torch. Working with borosilicate glass, students will learn a wide variety of flameworking techniques using rod and tubing. Demonstrations will range from blowing, sculpting, and assembling with unusual twists for creating visual impact. Assignments and individual projects will help students develop a personal language to manifest ideas into art.
This class will use borosilicate (hard) glass. One year of flameworking experience is required.
This class meets from 9am to 5pm each day, Monday through Friday, with additional studio time Monday through Thursday, from 5pm to 9pm. Materials for participating in the course are included. If you have specific colors you are interested in working with please bring them with you.
