Richard Parrish’s Tapestry bowls and wall panels are widely recognized for their intricate patterning and colouration. This new workshop will explore how an original idea develops into a comprehensive line of studio glass work. The Tapestry pieces rely on colour relationships, design and technique for success.
Workshop participants will make two finished pieces as a means of learning the major techniques for making these pieces as well as the subtleties of colour use and pattern making, The first piece will introduce the necessary techniques and initial colour pattern thoughts.
The second piece will be a significant pieces carried through from beginning to finished piece to understand the importance of well-made and well-finished work. Additional small samples and pieces such as jewellery components will be introduced along the way. Participants in the workshop will learn why and how Richard makes his Tapestry pieces with the intent of introducing a way of thinking about and developing new work, whether it be large or small scale. It is based on a belief that work that begins with the ideas and is supported by design and technical knowledge will be stronger, more personal and more original.
