David Walters: from the hot shop to the DRAWING BOARD
5 DAY INTENSIVE APRIL 8th - APRIL 12th 2024 9am-5pm This class will begin with some exploration of form and how forms can relate to the story, narrative or formal design the object is meant to carry. The day will start with hot shop demos followed by student blow time and concluding with an introduction to enamel drawing/painting and firing. Supply and technical information will also be discussed. Bring some ideas and even better, drawings of the objects you want to try to make in this class and we will explore the possibilities! COST: $1100
After graduating from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1993, David Walters moved to Seattle to work for Dale Chihuly and many highly regarded artists in the Puget Sound area and beyond. He has worked most closely with the maestro Lino Tagliapietra over 28 years. David has been traveling, teaching and demonstrating nationally and internationally for the past 20 plus years. David began using glass enamels in his work during a fellowship at the Creative Glass Center of America in 1995 and again in 2004. His work has been included in many distinguished private collections and several museum collections as well. He uses the forms he creates to serve as a reference, as well as a virtual canvas, to the stories he illustrates on them.
