Completion of Alternative Glassmaking 1 in the winter semester.

Credit will be awarded for participation in workshops and submission of a design or finished glass artifact using one of the techniques presented in the semester.

Teaching will take the form of trips to the glassworks/studio of the artists included in the programme. Participation in at least five workshops is required for awarding credit.

The aim of the course is to broaden the learners' experience base with alternative methods of glass production / handling.

Completion of the course should provide students with intermediate knowledge of glass production and a technological and experiential base for their own experimentation in alternative glass production.

Dates of workshops will be specified before the start of the semester, via BUT messages. List of artists contacted:
