General Meetings on Zoom, Picnics in-Person
The May 17th General Meeting will feature Milo Snyder “Sculptural Glass Lighting: Digital Fabrication, Casting, and the Creation of Atmosphere” (see the event listing for the Zoom link closer to the event)
This presentation explores Milo’s work as a cast glass artist focused on sculptural lighting, and how to use digital fabrication and casting techniques to create complex glass forms that shape light and atmosphere. He’ll share an overview of his work and the evolution of his practice. Milo will walk through his process from digital design and 3D printing to mold making and kiln casting, cold-working, and installation, as well as speak candidly about the realities of building a practice – from technical challenges to business considerations. There’s great video of Milo’s process at https://www.milosnyder.com/about2, scroll down to Process Journey, or just come to the meeting!
The June 28th General Meeting topic will be announced soon
