AVENGERS, ASSEMBLE!
Discover your own “toys” in a world of fantasy. Deconstruct traditional vessel forms and reimagine them as playful, sculptural, or functional objects—transforming historical references into contemporary design. Explore Medieval glassmaking and classical techniques: enhanced bit work, garage assembly, and complex decorative elements to develop innovative, one-of-a-kind creations. Through a fast-paced and efficient process, the class will refine their skills in team coordination and time management. Projects will include single-gathered forms such as cups, stemware, and creatures—all made with attention to detail and craftsmanship.
