With an emphasis on personal expression, this workshop will encourage students to build the relationship between pattern and form in the hotshop. This workshop will focus on a range of ways to make and apply repeated glass elements and colour additions onto blown forms. We will explore changing the bubble by creating asymmetrical, flattened and sculptural forms. We will draw from the natural surroundings of Pilchuck to create a library of patterns, texture, color combinations and shapes for inspiration. We will use the cold shop to look at how surface treatments like sandblasting and pumicing can integrate layers, soften textures and bring greater emphasis to rhythm and pattern. Idea development and experimentation are a key focus. Students will leave with lots of new ideas and techniques for their future work.
