In this workshop students will explore creating imagery with frit, often considered an accessory glass, and make it the centerpiece of the work. We will work with simple tools to create complex patterns and images. Experimenting with different temperatures in the kiln, students will learn how to create a range of textures within a work to create complex imagery and capture the gesture of the hand. We will play with color to create form and light and shadow to create depth. Demonstrations and discussions will show how to push the boundaries of fragility and the potential of material transformation. Students should bring reference images to translate into glass, a sketch book, and a tracing paper pad. 

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Kate Clements constructs delicate and ornate large scale paintings and installations comprised of kiln fused glass panels. The wafer-thin panels reference naturalistic designs and floral motifs that she uses to explore ideas of beauty, taste, and impermanence. Clements received her MFA in Glass from the Tyler School of Art & Architecture in Philadelphia. She has been awarded residencies at Studios Inc in Kansas City, the Museum of Arts and Design in New York City, Pilchuck Glass School, and S12 Gallery in Bergen, Norway.  Clements’ work has been exhibited at the Bellevue Arts Museum (WA), Delaware Contemporary (DE), Houston Center of Contemporary Craft (TX), SOFA Chicago, Urban Glass (NYC), and S12 Gallery (Norway.)  Her work has been featured in Italian Vogue Gioiello, American Craft Magazine, and New Glass Review.
