Glass is one of the premier mediums for new and emerging artists to explore. Despite its humble origins in the garage of a Toledo, Ohio museum in 1960, the studio glass movement is now one of the most important, recent advancements in the world of contemporary art. The class will learn about the history of the Studio Art Glass movement and its founding artists. An overview of glass techniques and examples of glass art will familiarize students with materials and techniques. Field trips may include The Ringling’s Kotler-Coville Glass Pavilion, the Basch Collection, and the shop at Ringling College of Art and Design.
