Composed Components - Lampworking with B. Jane Cowie and Paul “Sui” Jackson.

The workshop will be extremely crazy, fun and very busy. Get ready to sweat. The aim of the workshop is to get as much hands on experience as possible with the lamp work technique and challenge traditional notions of how a lamp worker can work. Working together we will create component pieces that will go beyond normal expectations. Experimentation with the glass will be encourages. Chandeliers, wall features large art installations will be part of our plan.

We will be working alongside factory lamp workers, under their watchful eyes, and those of the other ‘drop ins’. Be prepared to be “on stage”. However, you will likewise be watching. We hope this visual exchange of making processes, techniques, and ideas will encourage technical and cultural exchanges as well as new approaches to tacit learning.

Art Glass Solutions aims to offer new and extreme opportunities to link artists and industries. The exchange of information techniques, cultures and customs is the reason for hosting the workshops in real life situations.

No prior experience is necessary. Note, Vegans, Vegetarians and people who do not eat pork will find the food available particularly challenging!
