Glass Design: Advanced Hot glass and Cold Working Process for Design Application (DESA2309)

This course focuses on the integration of Design-based concepts and processes in hot shop based projects. Demonstrations and course assignments introduce advanced hot glass techniques, while self-directed projects support individual approaches to developing innovative methodologies that incorporate hot glass in design applications. Integrated demonstrations, lectures, class discussions and critiques expand students' knowledge of hot glass applications in historical and contemporary practices in the fields of craft, design and visual arts. Workplace health and safety (WHS) instruction is integrated throughout the syllabus.

This topic-based course alternates over two years (odd and even years). In odd years, the course focuses on advanced colour applications and form. Even years will investigate pattern and assembly.
