Glass Courses, Lectures & Workshops
| [Posted 19 January 2011] |
North Lands Creative Glass Annual Master Class Programme 2011:
'Touching The Past' (Caithness)
|
|
24 August – 1 September: ‘The Drive To Improvise’
Philip Eglin and Tessa Clegg, both Jerwood Applied Arts prizewinners,
will be orchestrating, in cooperation with Carl Nordbruch, an experimental
hot glass blowing course. The Master Class will concentrate on idea
development using as many hot glass techniques - particularly mould-blowing
– as possible.
24 August – 1 September: ‘The Pleasures And Difficulties Of Choice’
The Master Class, led by Ivana Šrámková, will focus on creating
sculptures, made in cast glass in combination with natural and man-made
found objects.
6 – 14 September: ‘Out Of Thin Air’
The main direction of Michael Rogers’ masterclass will be the development
of ideas with an emphasis on the individual’s inclinations and intuitive
choices. Technically the focus will be on a combination of cast and
blown glass compositions, assembled hot.
6 – 14 September: ‘Painting On Glass: Developing A Personal Iconography'
In this class, lead by Cappy Thompson, students will paint flat glass
and small vessel forms, applying vitreous enamels to glass using the
traditional painting technique of “grisaille” or gray-tonal painting
as a foundation for developing and expressing the student’s own visual
vocabulary.
