The description of the class from the Pratt website that Brent is hopeful to take is as follows:
Glass has a plasticity and behavior which lends itself to sculpting, and this course will provide a freedom to explore process and the potential of the material. This is not a traditional glass sculpting class however, as we will be using various torches in the hot shop to create more detailed work. We will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of using a solid or blown form and explore various methods of color application. In this 5 day intensive we will be doing more explorative sculpting than making actual finished pieces. Sketchbooks are mandatory. At least two years hot glass experience required.
Brent will be offering a variety of glass sculptures in exchange for your generous contribution. Glass pieces will be signed by Orient and Flume Art Glass.
The money raised from this campaign will go towards :
*the cost of the class
* round-trip flight
*room/board/food/inner-city travel
Thank you so very much for your time and your contribution towards Brent's passion.
Thank you to Orient and Flume Art Glass for their permission and support for this campaign.
