What Remains features site-specific installations and works by Celia Dowson, Katharine Dowson, Michael Endo, and April Surgent that reflect on stories and experiences reconstructed from fleeting shadows in memory and the earthed-over remnants found in the landscape.

This 2.5 day course will cover the process of creating a cast vessel using an adaptation of the core-forming process. Core-forming is one of the oldest forms of glass vessel making, and the process has been adapted for lost-wax kiln-casting. This includes hollow-core mold making, wax sculpting, firing schedule development, cold-working, and color considerations. Students will have the opportunity to design a unique vessel and lid. Add on 1.5 day class Perfume Construction the following weekend on December 10th and 11th and save 20%.
Class Times: December 3rd & 4th 9am - 5pm December 10th 9am - 12pm

Workshop: Constructed Images @ Penland - August 23 - 29th
This summer I am excited to be teaching painting with glass techniques at Penland. This will be a comprehensive course covering the use of enamels, powdered glass, layered sheet glass, and frit to created multi-faceted and deeply-layered works in glass.
My work combines glass powder and frit painting, drawing processes adapted for kiln glass, and centuries-old glass painting techniques in the construction of multilayered atmospheric spaces and narratives. This workshop will focus on the techniques used in my practice and will encompass painting with glass powders, enamel painting adapted for high temperatures, and layered kilnforming along with printing and drawing techniques for kiln glass. All levels.

The Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition is pleased to announce Transparent as Glass?, our first exhibition and sale dedicated specifically to glass artists in our 41-year history.

We are greatly honored to have as our jurors Michael Endo, Curator for Bullseye Projects, and Renee Radenberg as BWAC’s Curator of the space.
Show Details
Transparent as Glass? Art Show: Glass has been created and used by mankind from the ancient Egyptians. It is only recently, since mid 20th century, that glass has been acknowledged as an art form. It has wonderful physical properties – transparent or opaque – allowing one to see the illusion of space and depth, the constant play of positive and negative spaces. This causes a magical flow within the art, embodying fun, playfulness, and the spiritual energy of nature.
BWAC is seeking original artwork from glass artists working all glass techniques – blown glass, kiln working, casting, flame, neon, stained glass, glass painting and glass etching. The theme is to reflect glass as an art which results in 2‐Dimensional or 3‐Dimensional work.

CALL FOR ENTRY
Future Timelike Infinity
There has been a recent emergence of contemporary art engaging with the non-human, alien, silent, and unseen.
Whether intuitive or deliberate, this shift towards a more speculative and philosophical approach to describing an interconnected, non-hierarchical worldview has sparked a new conversation concerning how we imagine things beyond ourselves and how we define humanity’s role within the cosmos. In order to grasp and address the rapidly changing global climate, artists are inventing new terms and devising new frameworks for ascertaining and expressing the nature of existence. Primitive ontologies, tentacular models of connectivity, and paradox are amongst the ever-expanding range of devices appearing in contemporary discourse.
In Future Timelike Infinity, Carnation Contemporary in collaboration with guest curator Michael Endo invites artists to manifest works that navigate these complex and unknown intersections.
Future Timelike Infinity is a group show that will be held at Carnation Contemporary, in Portland, OR, in March 2020.
