May Classes: Thinking About Glass and Introduction to Coldworking
The e-merge exhibition may inspire you to think about changing direction with your work or taking it to a new level. If so, you might want to consider these relevant May classes. Note that instructor Jane Bruce is one of this year's e-merge jurors. Also note that Jane Bruce’s two-day course starts on the day of the e-merge awards event—convenient for those traveling to Portland for the festivities.
Thinking About Glass
with Jane Bruce
Saturday-Sunday, May 17-18
Bullseye Resource Center
If you’d like to explore a more thoughtful, conceptual approach to kilnformed glass, but don’t have time to enroll in an academic glass program, this special two-day seminar might be a great option for you. Instructor Jane Bruce, a New York City artist and educator, taught in the Glass Workshop at Australian National University from 1994 to 2004, was Artistic Director at North Lands Creative Glass from 2002 to 2007 and has taught throughout Europe, Canada, and the United States. Bruce has designed the Bullseye seminar to strengthen students’ understanding of the history and conceptual content of glass as an artist’s material. Participants will be challenged to re-imagine the potential of kilnformed glass—in a supportive, informal environment.

Introduction to Coldworking
with Erik Whittemore
Friday-Sunday, May 2–4
Bullseye Resource Center
Coldworking encompasses a wide range of methods for grinding, carving, engraving and polishing glass objects to finish or continue sculpting them once the casting process is complete. These methods can be used to resolve aesthetic as well as functional issues in the glasswork. Join Erik Whittemore for this popular introductory workshop, in which participants learn to use the tile saw, lathe, lap wheel, and belt sander, while working on pre-fused glass blocks supplied by us.
