Bandhu Scott Dunham
GL0112 Feb 25-26, 2012 (10a-5p) Sat/Sun (Glass Studio, Railroad Building)
Join international glass artist Bandhu Scott Dunham for the unique opportunity study with a master. This workshop will explore the notion of motion in glass. Glass is stronger than most people think! Starting with simple moving forms like spinning tops and Cartesian Divers, we will move on to play with marble runs (rollercoasters for marbles) and basic mechanical joints in glass. A beginner’s background in lampworking/flameworking glass is needed for this class, but no engineering experience is required. If you have a hand torch, bring it. Also please bring your questions about how to use movement in glass, as this class will include a lot of time for individual exploration with the instructor’s help. A studio/materials fee of $75 is due at time of registration and covers all glass and consumables used during the workshop.

Also bring rough notes about your artwork and/or past Artist Statement versions (or attempts), if you have them.

The principles of networking haven't changed in decades, but the social scene is all new. Whether you are apprehensive, dragging your feet, or ready to embrace social networking online, this seminar will introduce you to the world of Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and more. Learn all the tips and tricks of how to gain a following, expand your art's audience and get your name out into the world without having to shamelessly self-promote. Social networking is about building a community of like-minded people and sharing ideas, but it is also a science. Are you aware that there is a right and a wrong time of day to announce your upcoming exhibit? Did you know that you can tweet like you're out on the town while you're really fast asleep? Are you wondering what the heck a tweet is? Learn the nuances of privacy settings, the dirt on posting copyrighted original artwork, and the outright importance of social networking in the business of art.
