The traditional oval basic shape is our starting point. During the cold processing of glass, this shape results in natural movement sequences that we want to deal with in this course. We playfully learn specific shape changes using lathe, saw and flatbed grinder, but without neglecting the oval shape and its materiality. We also want to incorporate optical aspects such as reflection and refraction into our pieces, which can result from the glass base formed on the furnace. The resulting multidimensionality offers an exciting contrast to our original form, the glass egg. This course is open to everybody. However, basic knowledge of cold working glass is an advantage.
