Overview
Glass MFA students from Rhode Island School of Design develop a distinctly personal aesthetic through source research, vigorous studio experimentation, regular critiques and a series of graduate seminars on contemporary art theory and criticism. Glass faculty—a highly respected group of practicing artists and dedicated educators—help students to hone practices that demonstrate a deep understanding of both contemporary art issues and the rich history of art and glass.
In addition to group discussions, tutorials and critiques, two core seminars and workshops form the heart of the graduate curriculum. Glass MFA students have the opportunity to pursue courses in areas that complement their work and ideas at both RISD and Brown University.
Graduates with Glass from Rhode Island School of Design will be able to:
- demonstrate technical mastery in creative glassmaking processes such as casting, moldmaking, hot glass and coldworking, and in comprehensive safety practices
- exhibit well-developed team working skills and technical ability in the creative process and in the use and maintenance of all facilities
- pursue a studio practice with dedication, rigor and consistency
- establish a reliable methodology for developing work and ideas conceptually, materially and technically
