Lucio Bubacco WORKSHOP “ Glass Life”, waiting for GAS Conference 2018.
25 – 29 september 2017
“Only a person that lives for glass can make glass alive”.
SPECIAL OCCASION to do a five-days workshop at Lucio's Studio in Murano.
During the workshop a lot of different flameworking techniques will be presented, from creating small abstract objects to representing both animal and human anatomies.
You will enter in Lucio's world, an unique artistic approach to glass.
The purpose of the workshop is to bring more consciousness of the material (soft glass COE 104), that is fundamental for any kind of glass working.
For this special occasion, the cost is 200 Euro per day each person as Lucio will only make technique demonstration and there will be an assistant to help you any time you need at practicing. You will be able to use the glass at the studio (any color you want). All works you'll make will be annealed and you can keep them.
Open to all levels from beginner to expert.

“Lucio Bubacco has earned international respect for his sensuous works combining the anatomic perfection of Greek and Roman sculpture with the Byzantine gothic architecture of his native Venice. He focuses on large freestanding sculpture with incredible detail. He also combines large, cast glass forms with delicate flameworked figures to make scenes from mythology and express his fantasies.
As a boy, Bubacco made small animals and beads at the torch. Later, he spent two intensive years studying anatomy, drawing and design with the Venetian master Alessandro Rossi. Thereafter, the human form and the multi-colored palette became important elements in his pieces.
“Bubacco’s work combines virtuoso techniques and a theatrical narrative closely aligned to choreography. It is theatrical and lighthearted withal the magic of ballet or musical theater.” (Author Dan Klein, Artists in Glass)
