Not To Miss: Kirstie Rea at Pittsburgh Glass Center!!!
Posted: Tue Apr 13, 2004 9:41 am
As a dedicated Kirstie Rea fan, I just HAD to post an announcement about her class at the Pittburgh Glass Center this summer June 21 - July 3.
Kirstie is an outstanding artist, a generous and dedicated educator, and one of the most thoughtful and inspirational women I have ever met. As her TA, I am thrilled at the prospect of spending these two weeks with her and I encourage anyone who has the opportunity to sign up for her course!
Titled "Interpretation and Exploration - In and Out of the Kiln", the course description reads: "In this class, students will have the opportunity to explore and develop a vocabulary that will enable them to interpret and transfer their ideas into finished forms. Kilnformed glass techniques, using Bullseye glass, will be discussed and demonstrated. Through drawing, hands-on-work, group discussions and collaboration, individual ideas will be investigated and developed in a variety of ways. Students will be encouraged to explore and experiment in the kiln and with various cold working techniques, introduced to extend and complete individual works."
The "Thoughtful Work" thread I posted last winter was inspired by two weeks in Scotland with Kirstie. This will truly be a beyond-technique course that will greatly influence thought behind future work.
Further information about this course, Kirstie, and the Pittsburgh Glass Center can be found on http://www.pittsburghglasscenter.org. !
I hope to see you there!
