This week marked the end of the first term of the National Saturday Club at City and Guilds of London Art School.
Our 3D cohort, taught by Glass Tutor Anne Petters and Artist Glass Fellow 2023/24 Mils Bridgewater, began working with glass and clay. The works were inspired by the Blaschka sculptures the students saw last week. Using their photographs and drawings, the students created amazing 3D sculptures.
Our 2D members, taught by Graduate Diploma Arts: Carving: Woodcarving & Gilding student Henry Brown and student assistants Mississippi Renvoize (BA (Hons) Carving: Woodcarving & Gilding) and Joshua Von Uexkall (MA Fine Art), finished their Verre églomisé works. Each member delicately etched in a design of their choosing before sealing the work with spray paint.
Thank you to all our members for their hard work this term, see you in the new year!
