ARS 245 Hot Glass Sculpting
This is a beginning level course which introduces solid sculpting of glass as a fluid material for artistic expression. The student will be guided in familiarizing themselves with various material properties of hot glass and basic methods for manipulating the material and translating it into a visual image. Emphasis will be on the development of an original and personal imagery made from sculpting molten glass. Students will work with each other and individually explore established working methods and traditional design applications of glass for the purposes of developing new and unique concepts with the material. Studio work will be exhibited in the classroom and evaluated in a series of group critiques.
