The glass advanced course at the Morley College, North Kensington Centre is ideal for those with existing experience in Glass wishing to increase both glass technical and design skills through negotiated self-directed projects, as well as develop a more professional approach. The course is structured to cater to the specific needs of the group, and as such, covers a wide range of techniques, from advanced kiln-formed glass to architectural stained glass. Whilst working on own and group projects, you will be encouraged to experiment with different methods of making, extend techniques and develop personal work and visual identity through individual guidance and support. New and returning students work alongside each other in a mutually supportive environment in which you will learn both from your glass lecturer and each other. For get more information about the advanced techniques that can be covered in this course, please contact the glass lecturer Maria Zulueta; maria.zulueta@morleycollege.ac.uk
You will work independently to design and make kiln-formed glass forms using a range of design and technical skills. You will practice and develop both skill and creativity through personal project work, with guidance from your tutor. Teaching takes place in a practical workshop setting, including both presentation, discussion and demonstration. Informal assessment will take place on a continual basis throughout the course using observation, and a group Learner presentation at the end of the course outlining the development of individual projects. To ensure that you make the best possible progress on your course, you will have regular feedback from your tutor, in a constructive and supportive environment.
