This course will focus on the creation and use of blown glass forms, coloured, cut and treated, in relationship with found objects and mixed media components to create compositions with narrative and personal significance. While learning a wide range of making techniques, including color treatments, cane and murrini, students will explore the creation of sculptural narratives.
