Class description:
From the mind of the artist to a complete presentation to the client.
The purpose of this class is to guide the students through the process of creating a project from
conception to its presentation to a client or architect. Painters, architects, and glass artists are
invited to discover the potential of glass as a medium, and turn this awareness into a project that
can be realized.
The course will include these features:
- Analysis of the site for which the artist will invent.
- Development of the many initial raw ideas.
- Selection and development of the idea.
- Selection of the techniques to be used.
Development of the presentation:
- Artist's Statement of Intent.
- Maquette creation.
- Written description of the project.
- Analysis and presentation of the budget for the work and the timetable for its realization.
The overall goal of the workshop is for the student to understand five
basic components necessary to a successful glass project:
- Architecture: Love for and curiosity about architecture are components for success.
- Inspiration and Themes: How to make them individual, unique and relevant in any
given Environment.
- Glass: as a medium of light transmission.
- Techniques: How to use the proper technique for any given project.
- People: How to deal with the client on the one hand and the fabrication studio on the
other.
