玻璃

"This is the only program of its kind in the state and the only one at a public institution 在东南部."

Enrollment in the 玻璃 Program at the University of 南 Alabama, which is at the forefront of glass education, is a rare opportunity for students at a 南ern public 大学. This is the only program of its kind in the state and the only one at a public institution 在东南部. Courses are offered in the state of the art "hot" studio for 玻璃-blowing, and the "cold" studio for kiln working in "warm" thermo-forming procedures that include fusing and sculptural glass casting. “冷”作业指导书 includes the shaping of glass by grinding and polishing, including lathe work, engraving, 和喷砂. The development of conceptual contemporary ideas in multi-discipline endeavors are encouraged and served by a variety of glass techniques including the use of imagery or text produced by painting, printing, drawing and photography.

艺术 students as well as majors from other disciplines contribute to the glass making community experience where hot glass is gathered from two 500 pound furnaces while students learn a methodology more than 5,000 years old. Traditional or nontraditional vessel making and the pursuit of sculptural form, is informed by contemporary and 历史玻璃研究.
