Randy Walker

Rebuilding Foundations

May 19 - 23
Level: Intermediate
Hot Shop

Randy WalkerRandy Walker has been a principal member of the William Morris blowing team for seventeen years, helping to make some of the world’s most innovative glass works. This class will take intermediate blowers back through the basics with a new comprehension of what to do and, more importantly, why. We will keep our focus on thoroughly understanding the material and how the relative heats are affecting it. The approach to making basic forms (cylinders, cones, pulled necks and bowls) will be broken down into step by step skill drills. Working in clear and only finishing the pieces in stages, we can repeatedly and quickly practice our skills until they become second nature. There will be daily chalkboard discussion concerning individual expression, color applications, surface decorations and approaches to more complex projects. There will also be daily demonstrations by Randy making his own work.
