Mixed Media

Jonathan Tepperman | General

Session: 4/2005 3 - 16 July

Mix'n it up
In this dynamic two-week class, the students will explore multiple ways to create mixed media sculpture and express their ideas through a variety of different materials. Focusing on the material of glass, they will work with this complex material to make art. This class will enable students to make glass art with very basic tools or the most complex. How to cut, glue, paint and grind glass. How to join and combine many materials with glass. During this class, students will also briefly explore basic fusing, enameling, and working with glassblowers to realize their artistic vision. This will be a knock down drag out fun class that has no limits on creativity. Together the instructor and the students will push the limits of glass and themselves.
