Texas Tech University, School of Visual Arts
Kiln Formed Glass – Instructor: Gail Stouffer, MAE
Junction 2014
We are a diverse group of educators and students
with a wide array of two-dimensional and three-dimensional artistic
backgrounds. Prior to this class, none of us had any formal training in glass.
In our three weeks of class, we were given a wealth of technical knowledge,
artistic inspiration and classroom application.
We explored the many aspects of glass,
which included functional, sculptural, conceptual, and decorative works. This
includes casting, slumping, fusing and screen-printing, just to name a few. Individually,
we learned to adapt the material to our specific artistic voices. We can now confidentially
present kiln formed glass in a classroom environment, appropriately modifying
the content to the student level.
Through the body of work we created in
3 weeks, our ideologies and personal histories were skillfully conveyed in this
new medium.
