This course introduces Design Arts students to specialised hot glass working and finishing techniques. Design based assignments foster the acquisition of skills for glass blowing, including colour work, component making and relevant cold working, with an emphasis on the execution of multiples in response to design briefs. Informed by technical and contextual knowledge, projects encourage students to explore developing design concepts through material investigations. Integrated demonstrations, lectures, class discussions and critiques provide students with a broader understanding of hot shop based historical and contemporary practices in the areas of craft, design and visual arts.
This topic-based course alternates over two years (odd and even years). In odd years, the course focuses on historical precedents and projects and lectures interrogate the relevance of historical examples for a hot shop based design practice. In even years, the course explores current hot glass expression and projects and lectures examine hot glass based contemporary design practices. Workplace health and safety (WHS) instruction is integrated throughout the syllabus.
