Class 1304- Elements Of 21st Century Reliquaries
Reliquaries with internal healing objects have been important cultural objects for centuries. They have been made with a wide variety of materials. But what makes a reliquary in the 21st century? What elements can go inside? Which materials seem most appropriate in modern times?
In this class we will utilize clay and glass to explore current concepts in reliquary forms. This class will be split between a clay and kiln cast glass studio, allowing each participant the use of both materials and many techniques. There will be a wine and cheese reception at the end of this workshop to allow friends to see the work in a professional setting. Instructors : Tim Tate/Novie Trump Dates : Sat/Suns in July/Aug (July 14,15,21,22,28,Aug 4,11)
