Working directly from scale drawings, students will learn to construct complex structural forms from small motifs. Learn through demos, illustrated hand-outs, slide shows and lots of hands-on practice. An introduction to moving parts may also be provided for those ready. Students can expect to learn the fundamentals of borosilicate flameworking as well as techniques more specific to this method of building. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis workshop is targeted towards students with moderate glass experience looking to increase their arsenal of skills.

Some of her pieces reimagine historical objects, rendering them in ghostly and reflective material. Others map hidden natural processes and forms, revealing them through a material that inherently captures light. Still others blend the two, giving shape to contraptions that never existed but appear as if they could have.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/kitpaulson\/\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKit Paulson\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e received her MFA from Southern Illinois University and her BFA from Alfred University.
