Item Description
Kiln Forming-Out of the Square with Emma Varga During this class, Emma will introduce students to her original method of fusing and casting multiple layers of glass, which she has been exploring and developing, with great success, for the last 14 years. Her innovative approach starts with multiple layers of thin glass sheets composed of tiny mosaic-like elements, ultimately achieving three-dimensional images inside the transparent fused/cast sculptural object.
In this five day intensive class Emma will share many of the methods she uses to achieve three-dimensional images in her glass and focus on using the properties of glass to achieve visual effects and a sense of movement within cast glass. Additionally, students will receive basic information about grinding and polishing 3-D glass objects. During the course, students will have access to Emma's extensive digital gallery on her laptop and have time to work one on one with Emma to have questions answered. Emma will also discuss, through presentation, her newest directions in kiln forming.
Class dates: Wednesday, November 12- Sunday, November 16.
Emma Varga was born in Ada, Yugoslavia, in 1952. She graduated from the University of Applied Arts in Belgrade, Yugoslavia in 1975 earning a bachelor of arts degree in visual and applied art, with majors in glass design and ceramic sculpture. Her work has been heavily influenced all along by her environment and experiences, which have, ironically, served as the catalyst for both dramatic change (in tone and feel), and stabilization (in process, style and focus) of her work over the past 20 years. Political unrest within her home country led the artist to immigrate to Australia in 1995, a move which enabled the true blossoming of her work and the development of both her own signature process and style. Emma shows her work internationally and is a regular at SOFA Chicago. You can see more of Emma Varga's work on her website: www.emmavarga.com
