| Summary | THIS IS A FOR-CREDIT ONLY COURSE OFFERED BY THE OFFICE OF LIFELONG LEARNING (OLL); ONLY STUDENTS REGISTERED WITH OLL SHOULD BE ENROLLED
The development of the individual¿s own creative direction in glass is the purpose of this course. This course offers students with experience of glass processes taught in preceding OLL courses the opportunity to develop both their skills and their personal vocabulary with the medium, ranging from small, wearable pieces to larger works for installation.
This course develops skills in working with and designing using stained glass, glass painting, fusing, sandblasting, relief casting, and bonding. Attention will be paid to how technical skills and an awareness and understanding of the medium and how artists have used and continue to use it can inform the development of related ideas to enable students to make a series of samples and finished works. Students will be encouraged to develop increasingly innovative and experimental approaches to the medium supported by research and development of visual ideas.
