Core Casting & Reliefs in Colored Glass
This course will use kiln-casting, mold making, relief and core casting, lostwax casting, and colored Czech glass. We will look at negative and positive space and explore concepts of looking at the glass or through glass. Students will make vessels, plaques, a sculpture in colored glass, and personal works that combine techniques learned in core, relief and color.
Max Jacquard is known as an explorer and innovator working with a range of glass forming techniques. In a career of over thirty years, his unique methods have always been developed in response and as a stimulus to poetic ideas often inspired by found objects and textures from nature.
Bendick's artistic focus revolves around the manipulation of time, light, and multitone glass, grounded in a pragmatic exploration of sensory perception. Her work, inspired by natural light and human instinct for temporal reckoning sans technology, prompts contemplation of subtle seasonal, atmospheric, and meteorological shifts. She lives and works in England.
