Expand past the boundaries of traditional glass engraving techniques in this cross-disciplinary cold working course. Focusing on the use of handheld rotary tools, students will explore ways to combine their studies with vitreography (printmaking using glass plates), kiln-fusing, and more. Through demonstrations and guided practice, the fundamentals of carving glass will build our foundation for experimentation in this ancient art form.
