Unit of study_
CAEL2076: Light and Space, Glass in Art
2024 unit information
This unit examines conceptual and practical applications of glass in contemporary art and design. In studio research projects and presentations, understanding of glass as an everyday and cultural material is used to produce new forms and creative narratives. We explore a variety of processes, including kiln worked glass such as open face casting, fused and slumped glass, diamond cutting, polishing, lathe-working, engraving and glass joining. Your studio projects will combine sustainable, critical, and practical skills to develop and realise creative works. You can work exclusively with glass, glass components and other media and creative processes.
