Explore the magic of color and light with Dorothy Hafner, one of America’s leading glass artists.
Sessions are launched with Hafner’s “visual brainstorming” exercises that provide students with innovative steps and methods for creating dynamic designs, lively color play and meaningful abstractions in fused glass.
Hafner’s precision glass-cutting techniques and assembly methods are taught as well as kiln stacking and firing programs for fusing.
Lively critiques and group discussion round out the programs.
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Dorothy Hafner, artist, designer, innovator, is celebrated internationally for her spirited works in glass, ceramics and textiles over the last 35 years.
In the 1980’s she created avant-garde table wares for both Tiffany & Co. and Rosenthal Studio-Line that garnered both critical praise and commercial success. Today these designs are widely collected and often sited as icons of their time.
In the 1990’s Hafner gifted herself an artistic sabbatical, returning to her studio full time and soon began a “love affair with glass”, now her primary medium.
Her poly-chrome, exotically shaped vessels won instant acclaim. She then developed innovative techniques for fused glass, applying them to her widely collected art glass panels and sculpture.
