About this Event

"Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it"

George Santayana - philosopher, essayist, poet, and novelist


The history of glass is a rich resource, a tool to help facilitate the realization of ideas, as valuable asva blowpipe, kiln, pencil or paper. Knowledge of the field also helps to locate work in an historical context as well as assisting in the understanding of contemporary practice and issues. What is common to all types of glass is its inherent fluidity, which has always given glass objects their unique quality. As a result of these properties, glass has had, and still has, the widest application of any material. Through a series of presentations this class will look at some of these applications throughout history, including domestic, sculptural, and architectural. Part 2. will be offered in 2026.
