The Altered Book with Susan Taylor Glasgow
23-25 June 2016 (Thursday/Saturday)
Glass and mixed media artist, Susan Taylor Glasgow, shares her knowledge of "telling a story in glass", utilizing the altered book format as a canvas.
Students will learn lost clay casting, how to imbed text and imagery into glass, the new and best adhesives, and the mechanics of good conceptual story telling. Over the course of 3 days Susan will guide students through the process of formulating their personal story and translate it into the various media – glass – paper – metal. This class will appeal to students who love to play with new ideas and who have a wish to explore and discuss their own artistic language.
Each student will go home with their own Altered Book sculpture and the knowledge and confidence to explore glass and mixed media in their own studios.
