Summary | THIS IS A FOR-CREDIT ONLY COURSE OFFERED BY THE OFFICE OF LIFELONG LEARNING (OLL); ONLY STUDENTS REGISTERED WITH OLL SHOULD BE ENROLLED
This course offers students familiar with stained and fused glass the opportunity to expand their practice technically and aesthetically. In this course we will add sandcarving, bonding/gluing to the skills of leading, painting, and fusing and sandblasting that the student should already be familiar with.
Students will develop both their skills and their personal vocabulary with the medium, ranging from small, wearable pieces to larger works for installation.
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.
