This hot shop-focused class will (re)discover and define the emotive qualities of glass through an analytical approach to the material’s formal properties. Through daily discussions and explorations of technical glassmaking concepts, students will create compositions reliant on assemblage, color application and optics. Cold-working will assist in the process, and development, planning, drawing, and record-keeping will be emphasized.
With a background in fine art and manufacturing, Amanda has been working with glass for over two decades. Her work explores relationships through the assembly of multiple parts with a focus on color, light and line, and their ability to project emotion, familiarity and introspection. Amanda lives in Los Angeles.
