Glass Casting: Tree of Life
Saturdays and Sundays
October 9 &10 and October 16 & 17
(4 sessions)
9am to 6pm
Members $400 / Non Members $450
The tree of life, an old Mexican tradition,
is a beautiful, non-verbal, yet narrative
form of art depicting birth, life and death;
a construction of moments, passages and
people. For this exciting workshop we in-
vite each student to create their own tree
of life while exploring the expressive po-
tential of hot casting glass. By using a sand
bed as their canvas, students will take ob-
jects from their lives and press them into
the sand, leaving a mark on the sand creat-
ing a story or an autobiographical narrative.
Students will then add colors and inclusions
and finally will fill the impressions with glow-
ing molten glass. Once cooled, the glass ob-
jects can be used to create a mixed-media
assemblage. Ages: 18 - Adult; Class limit: 10;
Location: Glass Studio.
Instructor: Luisa Restrepo
