Designing within the parameters of monochromatic color schemes offers us the chance to work with unblemished purity, an ability to highlight an object’s sense of neutrality, and to focus more on shape and form without the visual distractions often created by patterns on the surface of things. This workshop will allow participants an opportunity to focus on making unconventional and conventional shapes, their surface contours, silhouettes, and postures, and emphasize the 3D footprint an object holds in a space. A minimum of two years of glassblowing experience is required.
