Course Description
Fusion refers to the merging or melting of different materials into one. Working across jewellery and ceramics, this course considers this concept also in relationship to the construction of an object from multiple parts. In this sense the artist becomes alchemist, scientist, or musician, mixing, constructing and blending to create a new object. By experimenting with processes of molding, you explore notions of multiplicity, the original, the copy and the archetype. This course addresses the development of conceptual, formal and aesthetic approaches in making.
