Exploring Personal Narratives
In this class, students will develop hot glass sculptures reflecting their personal identity by tapping into family history, cultural heritage, and significant life events. Using a variety of methods – cane, murrine and roll-ups, color application, mold-blowing, and printing - students will learn to create a visual narrative using a personal iconography, that draws inspiration from mythology and folk traditions.
