Rise and Grind
In this course, students will learn to combine glass and stone using multiple techniques, including kiln casting, cold working, and lamination. Experimentation with other materials (think found objects, sticks, metal, etc.) is encouraged—both to develop fresh narratives and test material synthesis. We’ll push to failure and then dial it back to success.
Over the last 20 years, Weston Lambert has created seamless sculptures of glass and stone that explore duality, transformation, and resilience. By combining a range of coldwork/kiln casting techniques, his pieces mirror and compress geological timelines. Lambert’s work ranges from intimate, pocket-sized pieces to monumental public installations, and has been exhibited internationally.
