Overview
This unit introduces you to varied techniques of sculpting with glass. Working from clay and wax originals, glass is cast in to hand built refractory moulds, fired in a kiln and then polished. These processes allow the transference of original and found objects to be re-contextualised into glass. You will explore the unique optical and material properties of the medium and will acquire an understanding to contemporary approaches. Projects are conceptually based and can incorporate a multi-media approach.
