Art Class: Glass Kaleidoscopes
Advertisement
Step into a world of color, light, and magic in this stained-glass kaleidoscope workshop. Learn how to assemble and align a mirror system inside and decorate the outside using the Tiffany method, a stained-glass construction technique. Discover how to use the science and magic of polarized film to create visual reflections. Participants are guided through the creative process, exploring color, mirror reflections, glass cutting, copper foiling, and assembly. This class is suitable for beginners and those with experience. All tools and equipment are provided. Ages 15 and up. Taught by artist Katie Knopp and art educator Blair A. Minick.
$175 / $140 for members.
Knopp’s passion for the arts started at a very young age and has evolved through many different art mediums over the years. She has studied drawing, painting, welding, pottery, sculpture, graphic design, and more. When Knopp began working with glass in 2000, it was an instant attraction. She loved how the glass interacted in the sunlight, and three-dimensional stained glass soon became her trademark. Knopp discovered the art of kaleidoscopes in 2017 — it has been quite a journey, and hands down the most fun art she’s ever encountered! It's incredible how a few pieces of mirror can create such fun interactive visuals, and it’s all about creating a new perspective in life.
Minick studied at the Savannah College of Art and Design, where she received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in photography and a minor in metals and jewelry. She continued her education at North Georgia College and State University and received her Master of Arts in Teaching. Minick grew up knowing that she wanted to be in art education. This led her to her career as an art teacher, where she taught for five years at the K-12 level. Some of her teaching courses included photography, metals, jewelry, visual arts, graphic design, and AP and IB Art. For the last eight years, Minick has served as a senior instructor of art education and the supervisor of student teaching within art education at the University of South Carolina School of Visual Art and Design.
