GLASS COURSES 2013 IN THE FOREST OF DEAN

One course left for 2013

     5^th – 7^th July

Space, Place, Site, Location. Glass Enamelling. Course leader Penny Somerville

By inhabiting a place, we imbue it with our own special quality of 'being'.   Colour, light, atmosphere, temperature, sounds all contribute to building an image of 'place', our 'place'. 

We will use our time in the Forest to find some understanding of our relationship to this particular place ....making drawings, developing ideas through collage.   The aim of the weekend will be to make some kind of 'talisman' of this time in this place using glass.  The ideas generated will be developed into glass pieces using enamels and other surface treatments. Students will be encouraged to be experimental. The process is always more important than the end product!

The course on the evening of the 4th July with a joint meal and a talk by the course tutor   

The Forest of Dean is situated between the Severn and the Wye, the triangle of land between Gloucester, Ross on Wye and  Chepstow. It is an area of mystery and natural beauty where among the trees, there are standing stones, roaming sheep, wild boar, deer and a sculpture trail. My workshop is in a paddock with the forest as its border on two sides
