This experience can be anything from playful to disturbing – and is provocative in terms that can be precise or ambiguous, according to the artist’s inclination and skill. Using the lampwork technique and borosilicate glass, we will explore a number of methods for imparting motion to glass sculpture. Simple mechanisms such as pivots, bearings, cranks, cams and pulleys can be combined to make intriguing and evocative contraptions on a large or small scale. Blown glass pistons and valves can be assembled into animated fountains, hydraulic pumps and even fanciful steam-powered machines. Through a combination of group discussion, structured exercises and free practice time, students will develop a vocabulary of basic techniques and components they can use to build kinetic sculpture in glass. Design considerations such as basic layout, structural strength, assembly strategies and sources of supplies will also be covered. Students will also learn how to make timesaving jigs from graphite, steel and mullite (kiln shelves). In the course of the class, Bandhu will demonstrate the creation of one of his own kinetic contraptions. Students will receive a list of recommended simple tools to bring. No particular scientific or engineering background is needed.
