150715230715 Stained Glass The Final Frontier Master Class with Judith Schaechter 15 - 23 July Fee pound90000 (includes evening meals) In this course participants will work with layered flash

glass to create one or two panels of stained glass Various methods of creating imagery on glass such as painting sandblasting engraving and diamond filing will be demonstrated and exploration of alternative options is encouraged Participants will assemble one or two small panels This class will also delve into the elusive creative process in the form of discussion Glass Unknown Experimentation and Discoveries in the Hot Shop Master Class with Maria Bang Espersen and Max Syron 18 - 23 July Fee pound65500 (includes evening meals) For this 6 day class we will put aside all presumptions we might have about the material glass and approach it in ways one would not have thought possible We will build up a new understanding of glass by investigating its material possibilities through playful experiments The process of discovery and learning from the glass itself will be the focal point rather than an emphasis on final objects Working in and out of the hot shop we will let go of traditional glass-making concepts creating and following new paths of inquiry We will explore ephemeral time-based and performative aspects of glass as well as concepts such as control value and experience This class is open to anyone with a curiosity for the unknown and the willingness to break some glass This is an experimental class and we will not be teaching any technical skills You will however learn how to gather and handle a small amount of hot glass For larger amounts some assistance is available All levels are welcome but a little experience in hot glass techniques can be beneficial August Master Classes

150715230715 Stained Glass The Final Frontier Master Class with Judith Schaechter 15 - 23 July Fee pound90000 (includes evening meals) In this course participants will work with layered flash

glass to create one or two panels of stained glass Various methods of creating imagery on glass such as painting sandblasting engraving and diamond filing will be demonstrated and exploration of alternative options is encouraged Participants will assemble one or two small panels This class will also delve into the elusive creative process in the form of discussion Glass Unknown Experimentation and Discoveries in the Hot Shop Master Class with Maria Bang Espersen and Max Syron 18 - 23 July Fee pound65500 (includes evening meals) For this 6 day class we will put aside all presumptions we might have about the material glass and approach it in ways one would not have thought possible We will build up a new understanding of glass by investigating its material possibilities through playful experiments The process of discovery and learning from the glass itself will be the focal point rather than an emphasis on final objects Working in and out of the hot shop we will let go of traditional glass-making concepts creating and following new paths of inquiry We will explore ephemeral time-based and performative aspects of glass as well as concepts such as control value and experience This class is open to anyone with a curiosity for the unknown and the willingness to break some glass This is an experimental class and we will not be teaching any technical skills You will however learn how to gather and handle a small amount of hot glass For larger amounts some assistance is available All levels are welcome but a little experience in hot glass techniques can be beneficial August Master Classes

glass to create one or two panels of stained glass Various methods of creating imagery on glass such as painting sandblasting engraving and diamond filing will be demonstrated and exploration of alternative options is encouraged Participants will assemble one or two small panels This class will also delve into the elusive creative process in the form of discussion Glass Unknown Experimentation and Discoveries in the Hot Shop Master Class with Maria Bang Espersen and Max Syron 18 - 23 July Fee pound65500 (includes evening meals) For this 6 day class we will put aside all presumptions we might have about the material glass and approach it in ways one would not have thought possible We will build up a new understanding of glass by investigating its material possibilities through playful experiments The process of discovery and learning from the glass itself will be the focal point rather than an emphasis on final objects Working in and out of the hot shop we will let go of traditional glass-making concepts creating and following new paths of inquiry We will explore ephemeral time-based and performative aspects of glass as well as concepts such as control value and experience This class is open to anyone with a curiosity for the unknown and the willingness to break some glass This is an experimental class and we will not be teaching any technical skills You will however learn how to gather and handle a small amount of hot glass For larger amounts some assistance is available All levels are welcome but a little experience in hot glass techniques can be beneficial August Master Classes

glass to create one or two panels of stained glass Various methods of creating imagery on glass such as painting sandblasting engraving and diamond filing will be demonstrated and exploration of alternative options is encouraged Participants will assemble one or two small panels This class will also delve into the elusive creative process in the form of discussion Glass Unknown Experimentation and Discoveries in the Hot Shop Master Class with Maria Bang Espersen and Max Syron 18 - 23 July Fee pound65500 (includes evening meals) For this 6 day class we will put aside all presumptions we might have about the material glass and approach it in ways one would not have thought possible We will build up a new understanding of glass by investigating its material possibilities through playful experiments The process of discovery and learning from the glass itself will be the focal point rather than an emphasis on final objects Working in and out of the hot shop we will let go of traditional glass-making concepts creating and following new paths of inquiry We will explore ephemeral time-based and performative aspects of glass as well as concepts such as control value and experience This class is open to anyone with a curiosity for the unknown and the willingness to break some glass This is an experimental class and we will not be teaching any technical skills You will however learn how to gather and handle a small amount of hot glass For larger amounts some assistance is available All levels are welcome but a little experience in hot glass techniques can be beneficial August Master Classes
