CONTAIN!

a glass project in cooperation with HBK-Saar(brücken) and Prof. Mark Braun at CIAV Meisenthal (France)

During this semester we will discover glass in all its aspects: from glassblowing in moulds to forming borosilicate glass by torch. The project starts with introductory workshops and visits in London and Berlin and ends with an exhibition at the 26th Designblok in Prague.

The theme of the project is: CONTAIN!
Based on your first discoveries you will play and experiment with moulds and design and make glass objects that fit to this theme.
This can be In the widest sense of the word: for instance, relating to containers (for food or stuff, or thoughts?), or relate to content or inclusion. The project can honor peculiar uses, specific functions, or simply be delight-inducing and beautiful!
Please note: The project is limited to max 7 students.
