Events
Like a Summer Camp...but for adults-ish...who are trans...and for the folks who love them!
This summer CUAG is partnering with the Ottawa Trans Library (OTL) on a free workshop series and wonderful community art project!
The goal is to build a dazzling installation for the street-facing window of the OTL which combines stained glass and ceramic work with a collection of chandelier crystals.
Over a six-week period, we will explore hand modelling, firing and glazing clay as well as the Tiffany copper-foil stained-glass technique. Fueled by snacks (!), participants will make hanging sculptures of crystals, stained glass and ceramics to be assembled, installed and launched as a spectacular sculptural installation in August at the OTL.
This will be a masked workshop series and masks will be provided.
Snacks and public transit fare also provided!
REGISTRATION REQUIRED as space and supplies are limited. Priority will be given to registrants from historically marginalized communities (transness/queerness notwithstanding)!
REGISTRATION for June workshops opens on May 14th (after info sessions).
Participants need to register for 3 workshop sessions as the process requires different steps we will be doing on different days! If you are new to stained glass, one of those sessions should be the INTRO session.
