Introduction to Colour Blooming – Catherine Dunstan
Sat 19 June- 10:00 am - Mon 21 June- 4:30 pm
£495Course Outline
A three-day introductory course, offering students the opportunity to expand their kiln-forming skill-set through a new and exciting pattern-making process for glass. This course will also provide opportunities to gain a deeper understanding of approaches to colour, and challenge your ideas about design for glass and how to anticipate how glass will move in the kiln in relation to negative space and kiln furniture. You will complete four experimental projects, all of which you will design and create from scratch with Catherine’s guidance. Each project will offer new things to learn and you will gain a thorough understanding of this process, equipping you to continue developing your own colour blooms after the course.
