10:30–11:30 a.m. Glass Art Society Conference 2023: Partnership Demonstration with Detroit Cristo Rey HS
The Corning Museum of Glass Hot Shop Demonstrators will perform a demonstration for special guests Detroit Cristo Rey High School Students. This interactive demo will result in a Mr. Potato Head style “bubble” character with features chosen improvisational by the students in the audience.
12:30–2 p.m. Glass Art Society Conference 2023: Charlyn Reynolds: Abnormalities & Absurdities (Demonstration)
Charlyn Reynolds will create signature hybrid sculptures. Stemming from the absurdity of Reynolds’ childhood, these fantastical creatures are a seamless blend of two completely different animals. This piece will focus on blown and solid sculpting, hot-assembly, and teamwork. In addition to narrating, Reynolds will share some personal history for the inspirations behind the creatures. Reynolds will also explain how the final artworks are just a part of the artist’s larger artistic universe.
3–4:30 p.m. Glass Art Society Conference 2023: Marc Barreda & Kitty Lameris: Breaking the Ice (Demonstration)
In the 16th and 17th centuries, an exodus of Venetian glassmaking techniques gave rise to novel forms and new approaches to the genre of drinking glasses. This style has become known as á la Façon de Venise and is characterized in some cases by eccentric deviations from the refined Venetian grace. Amongst a myriad of innovations emerged a group of glasses known as fopglazen, schertsglazen, verre á surprise or trick glasses.
Though extremely rare these glasses, in one form or another, are represented in every major collection around the world and until now remained surprisingly enigmatic. Together Kitty Lameris and Marc Barreda have opened Pandora's Box and begun to scratch the surface of a complex and pervasive history of objects. Through a novel approach to the traditional demo they will guide you into the history and making of a variety of glasses that have a surprising capacity to break the ice.
3–3:30 p.m. Glass Art Society Conference 2023: Infinity Vessel
In this short horror movie, the myth of Pandora is reflected via blown glass. The film explores how craftmanship is a vital part of humanity, paradoxically broken and whole at the same time. The mythological and symbolical levels of the Vessel are an important part of this poetic yet eerie narrative.
This program is presented in partnership with the Glass Art Society and the Detroit Institute of Arts
