Bachelor of Fine Arts - Studio Art - Glass

The glass program at AUArts fosters creative, independent makers and critical thinkers, and a high level of student interaction with both faculty and guest artists.

Studio facilities

Studio instruction in glass is presented in a workshop-style environment. The experience is enhanced through visiting glass artists who work closely with students, and by strong ties to the broader glass community.

• Four Glory Holes with 12” and 20" diameters
• Two 300-pound glass furnaces
• Six annealers with programmable controllers
• Seven kilns with GB 1 controllers, providing numerous possibilities for warm glass and casting processes
• Full range of cold working equipment, including three state of the art cutting lathes, NSK engraving stations, and two Suhner water-fed hand grinders
• Individual studio spaces for third and fourth year students

AUArts’ Glass faculty share their broad range of experience in a collaborative, dynamic learning environment. High-profile guest artists add further diversity to instruction and mentorship.
