10 - Perfect vessel masterclass at the Red House Glass Cone

Archived news release from 2008

 

Karl is one of two education artists in residence at the Red House Glass Cone and Broadfield House Glass Museum working with schools, students and glass artists to share a new approach to this unique material.

 

Karl is from Northern Ireland and is an established artist, publishing articles, running master classes and art based training.

 

Students attending the five-day course at the historic site will learn about kiln preparation and use, choice of materials and design. The emphasis is on acquiring technical knowledge through a practical, hands-on approach.

 

“Students attending the  “Perfect Vessel” masterclass will not only benefit from Karl’s own experience but should draw new inspiration for their own work from the class.”

 

During the residency Karl, along with fellow artist Shelagh Swanson will also create a piece of glass to donate to the museums service collection.
