The Graduate Glass Program at BGSU gives students the skills necessary to manipulate glass exploring traditional techniques as well as contemporary directions. An emphasis will be placed on both utilitarian glass formation and the use of glass as an artistic medium allowing students the freedom to explore glass in many ways. The student is highly encouraged to combine glass with other media and to utilize interests and skills acquired in other areas to broaden their overall aesthetic development.
Interdisciplinary involvement is supported.
A unique studio experience is provided in the glass program. Students will be directly involved with the building, running, and maintenance of the glass shop and equipment. This hands-on involvement gives the student direct experience in running a glass shop. The program's course content focuses on the technical aspects of building a glass facility and related equipment necessary to succeed in glass as a career as well as developing a personal aesthetic in glass. The glass program features an extensive visiting program supported by the student glass club.
