Zurich Glass School is an ideal School of Art for creatives to build a solid foundation in skills wit The school isn't only working on flameworking skills.
Our school is working mainly but not exclusively working in off-mandrel sculptural work in both soft and hard glass. Our programmes are very much focused on hand-skill improvement as opposed to use of colour. We are also offering workshops in marketing, photography of glass and in September we have a festival of talks called 'Contemporary Contexts'. This festival is for people who have come to gla

Advanced lampworking isn't really about learning more techniques.
It's about organising complexity.
Planning.
Sequencing.
Understanding structure.
Seeing problems before they happen.
The larger the project becomes, the more important those skills become.

The final chapter of the Beasties trilogy explores observation, interpretation and advanced sculptural decision-making.
Where do creative ideas come from?
When artists look at nature, they aren't simply trying to copy what they see. They are observing, selecting and interpreting.
In this short film, I explore how observations of beetles can become the starting point for original glass objects, using one of Serbay Doru's murrine beetles as an example.
The goal is not simply to recreate nature.
The goal is to understand it, respond to it, and transform it into something new.
I'd love to know what inspires your own creative ideas.
