Immerse yourself in the world of solid, hot-sculpted glass! We will be working collaboratively in the hot shop to create detailed works inspired by nature. Students will use a variety of both traditional and unconventional techniques to incorporate texture, color, and patterns in their artwork. The focus will be on learning how to work as an effective team to create complex assemblages. This course will be a general overview of solid sculpting and assemblage.
