Visiting Artist: Edgar Valentine
Edgar Valentine returns to the WSG studios! A contestant on Netflix’s Blown Away, Edgar brings his distinctive sculptural approach and creative perspective to this hands-on course.
Students will explore a variety of hollow and solid sculpting techniques, working with both realistic and abstract forms. The course will cover tool use, color application, and techniques for developing a story through the art of glass. Edgar will encourage students to push their creativity and train their eyes to see figures, shapes, and possibilities within a fresh gather of molten glass before picking up the torch and tools.
