In this workshop theoretical engagement is interwoven with rapid prototyping.
A special focus will be given to the concept of transparency, and to the role of im/materiality in mediating presence. Invited guest speakers will contribute to this topic and discuss its relation to innovative glass craft and artistic research.
The number of participants at the workshop is limited but if you have related research interests and would like to contribute, please write an introductory email to Charlie Gullström (charlieg@kth.se) and Caroline Nevejan (nevejan@xs4all.nl) by 15 February and we will let you know if we can offer you a place at the workshop.
