This unit of study examines conceptual and practical applications of glass fusing and slumping through contemporary art and design. Your understanding of the ubiquity of glass and its reuse in various guises will be developed through self-directed research projects and the in class presentation of your findings. Technical introductions to warm glass allow you to traverse a raft of reductive and manipulative processes, including: diamond cutting, polishing, lathe-working, engraving and joining. Your projects will combine critical and practical skills. You may decide to work exclusively within the medium of glass or in conjunction with other media and processes as required.
