(Past) Andrea Loomis: Fearless Creative Slumping
4day weekend workshop:
April 26-29 - Friday-Monday - 9:00AM - 12:00NOON
8 students maximum
Breaking the Mold – Fearless Creative Slumping
The workshop explores how you can extend unusual shapes into 3D-Space through creative slumping and draping. Students will explore creating dynamic visual movement made possible through slumping and draping techniques and gain a better understanding of the forces and limitations at work.
Each student will create a multipart nested sculpture. The project will take you through planning complex slumps, building slumping kilnscapes, achieving unique organically shaped glass.
The goal of Andrea’s workshops is to open up new pathways for your glass art. They are intentionally participant driven. We will work together in a safe space to push our boundaries of creating sculptural glass art. The goal is to expand and free your individual creativity. I will share my experience – the good, the bad and the ugly - and process, and hopefully pass on some knowledge that I gained along the way.
More about the Instructor, Andrea Loomis:
Andrea Loomis can’t think outside the box…Andrea is at home outside the box! She moved to the US in 2000 leaving family, friends, a career, and familiar life behind. She caught the glass fusing bug in 2012 when she was looking for a medium that could be used to express her creative ideas. Her sculptural work is abstract and highly experimental. A citizen of two continents, her work integrates culture and idea worlds of her native central Europe, steeped in traditions, crafts and art history with new ideas and perspectives that she gained through her move into a “new” world. The expressiveness of glass using light and color, transparency and shadows never cease to amaze her! Paul Tarlow, Bob Leatherbarrow, Jeremy Lepisto, Joanne Teasdale, and Linda Ethier were her teachers. She attends Narcissus Quagliata’s webinars regularly. She showed her work on numerous Austin Studio Tours, and events at the Dougherty Arts Center, the Neill-Cochran House Museum, at the AARC in Austin and currently has a comprehensive show “Paths of Light” with Larry Akers at the Fine Arts Gallery at the city-owned Old Bakery & Emporium in the very heart of Austin, TX.
