Glass Casting: Tree of Life
Saturdays and Sundays, October 9 & 10 and 16 & 17 (4 sessions), 9 AM–6 PM
WHERE: Glass Studio
Members $400 / Non-Members $450
The tree of life, an old Mexican tradition, is a beautiful, non-verbal, yet narrative form of art depicting birth, life and death; a construction of moments, passages and people. For this exciting workshop we invite each student to create their own tree of life while exploring the expressive potential of hot casting glass. By using a sand bed as their canvas, students will take objects from their lives and press them into the sand, leaving a mark on the sand to create a story or an autobiographical narrative. Students then add colors and inclusions and finally fill the impressions with glowing, molten glass. Once cooled, the glass objects can be used to create a mixed-media assemblage.
Ages: 18–Adult; Class limit: 10
