Montessori concepts such as Practical, Sensorial, and Cultural will serve as a lens through which glass is explored as a sculptural material. Specific exercises will be assigned, initially, when new techniques and tools are introduced. Otherwise, students will work on their own self-directed projects. We will be working in the hot shop: blowing and casting; the kiln shop (studio building): slumping and fusing; the cold shop; and a brief time in the Bot Lab.
