Join visiting artist Morgan Gilbreath for an immersive kiln-formed glass workshop. Learn how to embrace the unique working properties of found, recycled, and manufactured glass. In this experimental class, you’ll be introduced to the creative possibilities of repurposed glass in the kiln and coldshop. Guided by demonstrations and technical lectures, we will complete a fast-paced series of kiln tests and small sculptures utilizing various types of found and collected glass.
The techniques taught in this class will allow you to develop your own glass practice, using the various glass you encounter in the world, making it an inspiring opportunity for artists of all levels to expand their creative skill set.
