CERAMICS

KEEPING IN TOUCH: CERAMICS, FOOD & RELATIONSHIPS GWENDOLYN YOPPOLO Dates: August 15 thru August 19, 2016

5 DAYS Level: All Levels Code: 16U-CERW-0009 $525 Tuition / $125 Supply Fee The pots we choose to make anchor our cultural stories around food, self, and each other. Students will consider the larger purposes served by their work as makers of objects that respond to physical gestures and fit into the relationships of their lives. Students articulate their intentions through dialogue and writing, clarify their visions through two- and three-dimensional sketching, and refine the meanings conveyed in our work through purposeful studio engagement. While exploring forming methods such as pinching, coiling, throwing and altering, solid prototype building, press

molding, and erosive shaping, students will strive to align their conceptual content with the materials, processes, forms, and presentation of their work. Students will emerge with a new sense of purpose as makers within contemporary culture, building prototypes for a new world. Instructor Bio: Gwendolyn Yoppolo uses words, ceramic objects, and food to stretch boundaries and transform perception. She received an M.F.A. in ceramics from Penn State University, an M.A. in education from Columbia University, and a B.A. in sociology from Haverford College.

GLASSBLOWING

GLASS, BIG, BLUE...AND NEON! JASON CHAKRAVARTY Dates: June 20 thru June 24, 2016

5 DAYS Level: Intermediate; prior glassblowing experience required Code: 16U-HGW-0016 $660 Tuition / $330 Supply Fee

This course will focus on neon and illuminating nontraditional glass including vessels and sculpted forms created in the hot shop. The course will provide a basic understanding of the use of noble gases such as neon and argon. Demonstrations will include different effects created by forms, gas pressure, and gas usage. Students will leave with glass forms that are filled with gas and can be illuminated. Students should have basic hot shop skills and a desire to expand their vocabulary of the material as a sculptural expression. It is recommended that they have taken at least one introductory glass course, as the course will not be covering gathering and beginning process techniques.

Instructor Bio: Jason Chakravarty began incorporating glass through the use of neon into his sculpture in 1998 while attending Arizona State University. He was employed for four years at a commercial neon sign shop where he learned technical fundamentals of the neon process. In 2002 he began illuminating hot shop forms and kiln casting glass while attending graduate school at California State University Fullerton. He has taken workshops nationwide including at Pilchuck, Pittsburgh Glass Center, Penland School of Crafts, and University of California San Diego. He has taught neon and kiln casting workshops nationwide including

Arizona State University, Corning Museum of Glass, Goggleworks Center for the Arts, Arrowmont School of Crafts, Urban Glass, Cleveland Institute of Art, Pittsburgh Glass Center, Appalachian Center for Crafts, and Penland School of Crafts. His work has been shown in over 100 exhibitions. Currently he is represented commercially at Corning, Duncan McClellan Gallery, Habatat Galleries, Hive Contemporary, Marshall LeKae Gallery, Kuivato Gallery, Penland Gallery, Thomas Riley Galleries, and Vetri Gallery. His studio is located in Arizona.



GLASSBLOWING

EXPLORING PATTERN THROUGH MURRINE JIM ANDEREGGDates: July 18 thru July 22, 2016

5 DAYS

Level: Intermediate; prior glassblowing

experience required

Code: 16U-HGW-0019


Students with an affinity for color and pattern will make use of traditional Venetian techniques in contemporary ways. Glassblowing demonstrations will include pulling and using cane and murrine and encalmo. Exploring various color applications and techniques, students will be encouraged to reinvent the relationship between form, patterning, and finish, adding complexity and depth to the objects that result.

Instructor Bio: Drawing inspiration from the organic nature of spontaneity, James Anderegg’s work merges the splendor of Venetian glass techniques with a design sensibility for the wild and exotic. His sculpture integrates a laborious layering of colored elements that undergo an equally laborious carving process: finished compositions that reveal lively interior and exterior relationships. Anderegg was first introduced to glass in 2001, living and conducting his work in a suburb east of Seattle, Washington.



GLASSBLOWING

THE HOW AND THE WHY DAVID KING WITH NATE RICCIUTO Dates: August 15 thru August 19, 2016

5 DAYS Level: Intermediate; prior glassblowing experience required Code: 16U-HGW-0022 $660 Tuition / $285 Supply Fee

In this class, students will develop their glassblowing skills through repetition and thoughtful analysis of the process. Starting out the week with King, students will establish a strong foundation by learning how to "set up" their bubbles in a traditional Venetian style. Confidence gained through traditional vessel making will lead to exploration of the sculptural possibilities of the blown form. Ricciuto will conclude with simple and effective cold-working tricks along with a glass glue primer and leave students with an expanded conception of what is possible.

Instructor Bio: David King learned to work with glass at Ohio State University where he earned a bachelor’s degree. Since receiving an M.F.A. from Tyler School of Art, Temple University in 2011, he has participated in several artist residencies including the fellowship at the Creative Glass Center of America at Wheaton Arts and the Emerging Artist in Residence at Pilchuck Glass School. He recently taught a summer workshop at Pilchuck Glass School and is currently adjunct faculty at the University of the Arts and Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia.

Instructor Bio: Nate Ricciuto is an artist living and working in Philadelphia, PA. He utilizes instances of creative problem solving in ways to diagram exploration

and discovery, and creates situations that question our understanding of the relationship between craft, technology, and intuition. Nate earned his M.F.A. from Tyler School of Art in 2015, where he was awarded a University Fellowship and was an instructor in the glass program. He has a B.F.A. from Ohio State University, where he also spent several years working as studio supervisors for glass and sculptures and visiting lecturer in the Department of Art. Nate is currently adjunct faculty at Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia.



LAMPWORKING

INTO THE GARDEN JENNIFER UMPHRESS Dates: June 20 thru June 24, 2016

5 DAYS Level: All Levels; some experience preferred

Code: 16U-FLGW-0031


Students will be guided through the fundamentals of lampworking with borosilicate glass; they will look into the garden for inspiration. Basic solid-sculpting techniques will be taught, providing students with a strong foundation for making sculptural and wearable works. Students will be encouraged to move beyond technique and find their personal voice and aesthetic.

Instructor Bio: Jennifer Umphress’ work often draws inspiration from her environment. Born and raised in California, she began working with glass in 2000 while living in Hawaii. Umphress now lives and works in Kingston, Washington, where the Pacific Ocean continues to influence her work. “Although my inspiration comes from the ocean, I aspire to capture the fluidity of nature in a simple contemporary form,” says Umphress in her personal statement. Umphress studied with Cesare Toffolo during a month long apprenticeship in Murano, Italy, and has taken workshops with Robert Mickelsen and Janis Miltenberger. Her work has been shown nationally and internationally. Umphress was awarded the Glasscraft Emerging Artist Award in 2009.



LAMPWORKING

LAMPWORKING: A GREAT WORLD TO DISCOVER SIMONE CRESTANI Dates: July 18 thru July 22 5 DAYS Level: All Levels; some experience preferred Code: 16U-FLGW-0038 $525 Tuition / $315 Supply Fee

This class will explore the wide scenario of lampworking using borosilicate glass. Flame worked glass allows artists to work very small, detailed pieces as well as create large objects and sculptures. During the class students will have an introduction on working borosilicate glass from the foundations to more complex applications in hollow sculpting. They will also work some of the many possible applications in design and object making. The class is open to all levels, no experience is required but also advanced students are welcome.

Instructor Bio: Born in 1984 in Marostica, Simone started working glass in 2000 first as a student and co-worker in Massimo Lunardon’s glassblowing studio. After a ten year apprenticeship, Simone opened his own studio where he continues to work. Simone is dedicated to research and innovation. An introspective and self-taught artist, over the years he put together all the lessons learned and the experience gained, and finally broke away from the traditional glass of Murano. Inspired by the never-ending variety of the natural world, the shapes of animals and plants magically come to life. Simone Crestani’s technique, together with his personal style and sophisticated poetics, allow him to create an interaction, where glass overcomes its purely material dimension and becomes a fine and studied artistic language, a pure, silent and crystalline conceptual element.



LAMPWORKING

THE ROGER PARRAMORE EXPERIENCE ROGER PARRAMOREDates: August 15 thru August 19, 2016

5 DAYS

Level: All Levels; some experience

preferred

Code: 16U-FLGW-0034


So often it is the case that experienced and beginning artists encounter the same difficulties as they progress through their development as artists. Beginners want to step out on the right foot. Experienced artists hit roadblocks. It is never too early or too late to brush up on the fundamentals. In this class they will go back to school, back to the fundamentals of technique and basic knowledge of the material. From gaining a strong base in heat theory and flame chemistry, to blowing goblets, beginners will

gain the confidence to move forward, and those with more experience will have the opportunity to step back and fill in gaps in their own body of knowledge and technique. Come ready to hit the ground running for an intense submersion into the fundamentals of lampworking.

Instructor Bio: Roger says, “Glass took me under its spell early, when at the age of nine I sat glued in place watching the traveling lampworkers spin ships and unicorns. Through the years my relationship with glass has come to define a good bit of who I am. I pursued my interest through an apprenticeship in scientific glassblowing and then on into the art glass world teaching and showing my work. Some 44 years later my fascination with this most universal of materials is ongoing. From art to manufacturing color and teaching, glass has been a near life-long companion”.



FUSED GLASS

LOST WAX CASTING MARK ABILDGAARD Dates: June 24 thru June 26, 2016

3 DAYS Levels: All Levels Code: 16U-WGW-0010 $370 Tuition / $195 Supply Fee

Mark has spent several years developing a technique to create forms in wax using wet clay as a mold. Images are made by pressing objects into the clay and then pouring the melted wax into the void. Mark believes this technique has a lot of potential to produce interesting forms and textures for pieces that can be cast in glass. In this class students will learn each step in the process through a “hands on approach." The class will make small objects in wax that will be used to follow through each step in the process: from mold making, through kiln firing and annealing. The concept for this class is to cover all aspects of glass casting so that the participants will be able to continue working on their own. No previous glass casting experience is required.

Instructor Bio: Mark received a B.A. in art from San Francisco State University in 1979 and an M.F.A. degree in art from the University of Hawaii in 1984. After graduating he worked as an artist in residence at the Tokyo Glass Art Institute in Japan and at Sculpture Space in Utica, NY. Mark also was awarded a five month fellowship at the Creative Glass Center of America in Millville, New Jersey in 1985. Since 1986, Mark has worked in his Northern California studio creating kiln cast sculptures. His work has been included in the collections of the Corning Museum of Glass in Corning, New York, the Oakland Museum of Art in Oakland, California, the Richmond Museum of Art in Richmond, Virginia, the Crocker Museum in Sacramento, California, and the Triton Museum in Santa Clara, California. You can see examples of his use of this technique on his website: markabildgaard.com/images/vessels/process
