DGL-252 KILFORMING WITH IMAGERY
This course will introduce students to a variety,kilnforming approaches to translating 2D design,and drawings into fused, slumped, and cast glass,forms. Students will create a personal body of,work using image oriented techniques such as,photo-sandblast resist, enameling, powder fusing,,emulsion transfer and engraving in decorative,,functional and sculptural pieces.
Credits: 3
Prerequisites: DGL-142, DGL-170
DGL-347 ADVANCED GLASS PROJECTS
In this course students engage in research and,ideation exercises to create self directed,projects in glass. Students are guided to develop,narrative and concept in their work and are,encouraged to undertake original research in the,glass fabrication processes and techniques.,Students may choose to work in glassblowing, kiln,forming, coldworking or a combination of multiple,techniques to complete their work. The outcome of,this course is a cohesive body of work that will,help build students’ professional portfolio.
