A complete portrait of Kristina as an artist
Note
from Kristina: I'm
honored & thrilled to let you know about the DVD I made with
the Corning Museum of Glass for their Master Series. (See the
official description below.)
It
was an exciting process making the DVD during 3 days of filming
at the Studio @ Corning. You will see me working in their beautiful
studio space and talking with David Whitehouse, the director
of the Corning Museum of Glass on the DVD. This is my first DVD
so adding dots to a complex bead while being filmed did add a
little bit of pressure!
I'm
happy to say that the filmakers really did capture what I do
on a daily basis and what I think about when I work. My process
of going from a bead to a piece of jewelry is also shown.
"Kristina Logan
is internationally recognized for her precisely patterned, delicate
glass beads, which she combines with metalwork to create both
jewelry and functional objects. Says Logan, "Beads are part
of my lifelong fascination with art and ornamentation. Glass
beads form an historical thread, connecting people and cultures
throughout our history."
She has served as
the president of the International Society of Beadmakers, and
is a committed educator. Her desire to share her knowledge of
the material has been an inspiration to glass beadmakers throughout
the world, as well as to her students at The Studio of The Corning
Museum of Glass.
In this video, Kristina
demonstrates her process of beadmaking at the torch, finishing
the glass by cold working, and incorporating both her glass and
silver work into completed pieces of jewelry. She also discusses
the history of glass beads and shares the philosophy of her work."
On this Master Class
DVD Kristina explains where she finds her ideas and inspiration.
She demonstrates working at the torch - precisely layering and
dotting glass to make her intricately beautiful beads. Kristina
also talks about how she got started making beads and working
with glass and about precision and dot placement in her work.
Kristina then shares how she works in her studio to combine her
finished beads with silver to make beautiful works of art.
A description of how
contemporary glass beadmaking fits into the time line of glass
history is included on this Master Class DVD. It will be of value
to glass artists, collectors, and scholars for years to come.
