Austin Stern: Cane on the Brain
"Cane on the Brain" with Austin Stern - a week-long hotshop studio intensive
In this course, students will explore traditional and non-traditional cane techniques. Starting with the process of pulling filigrana cane, students will expand into pulling complex cane types and explore a variety of possible applications for that cane. Students will be given one-on-one guidance for specific questions, and projects will guide the glass through technical and design challenges. Students are encouraged to bring a sketchbook and come to class prepared to work together and share ideas.
