Corning Museum of Glass
7–14 July 2013
Katharine Coleman will be running a short course in glass engraving at The Studio, Corning Museum of Glass from 7-14 July 2013, exploring many engraving techniques (wheel, drill, diamond point, sandblast), whether to make engravings per se or to use engraving as an adjunct to one’s own glasswork. Glass engraving no longer needs to be traditional in style or content. We shall experiment on many types of glass – flat, blown, clear and colour overlaid - seeking that specific combination to suit each student. Teaching on a one to one basis with regular breaks for topics, talks and with reference to the famous Museum collection. Suits all ability levels, no glassworking experience needed. (Scholarships may be available towards the cost of travel and the cost of the course - see the website for details).

What is Art in Action?
