Next month Stephanie Trenchard and Jeremy Popelka will be teaching a one-week class called Narrative Inclusions at the Corning Museum of Glass.
Date: January 11 - 16, 2016
Technique: Furnace Casting
Level: All Levels
Duration: One-Week Session
Fee: $825
Description:
In this class, you will explore the creative possibilities of sand casting hot glass working with the molds, inclusions and surfaces. The class will explore the aesthetic and expressive opportunities of narrative imagery in glass as well as the technical aspects of casting with inclusions. This unique technique of casting allows for the hand of the artist on glass.
Sand casting, hot sculpting, enameling, and stenciling will be covered. You will paint with frits and enamels for the inclusions that will be encased in the hot glass. You’ll also explore the sculptural potential of sand casting by creating multiples and elements that can be assembled to form larger pieces, as well as surface treatment options, including organic material, stenciled imagery and textures. No casting experience required, some glassblowing experience useful.

With incredible skill, Fred Stonehouse embraces the weird
The title of Stonehouse's retrospective at the Museum of Wisconsin Art, "The Promise of Distant Things," describes the mystery of viewing these paintings perfectly. We can't comprehend everything the artist conjures, but he is assuring us that this knowledge isn't that far away, is perhaps tucked away in some bizarre nook of the work.

A black bear is suspended over a waterfall and inky tears are falling from his eyes, from his body, running down his chest and off of his clawed toes.
A demonic bat creature soars through moss-draped trees, his nostrils flared and his nub teeth bared.
A bearded man is chest-deep in a thick marsh, his lips wrapped around the body of a fish, tears of green sliding down the side of his head.
These are paintings of disturbing images that are disturbingly relevant to your life. This is the art of Fred Stonehouse.

The night is coming on in “Eventide at the Duchess’s.” The sky glows orange with an apocalyptic burn, familiar in the paintings of artist John Wilde (1919–2006). The sunset bathes a wild bunch of cavorting bodies. Some couples embrace and others face off, while in other vignettes single figures dot the improbable landscape. A woman lounges on a gigantic leaf as another balances on a beach ball floating in water, or on a head sticking up from the ground. In the distance, with striking nonchalance, is the painter who busies himself working at his easel.
