Keynote SpeaKer: Judith Schaechter “Creativity: Surviving Challenges”
Artist Judith Schaechter will show some examples of her own intricate, narrative glasswork and will talk about
approaches to creative thinking – both as an artist in studio practice and as a teacher guiding students in developing
their craft and concepts.
How can new creative ideas be cultivated? The creative process is weird, elusive and ultimately unknowable. Sometimes
ideas occur suddenly, sometimes they linger and sometimes there is the dreaded “block.” How can teachers in the
arts help students to embrace and better understand that creativity and perseverance are essential, yet difficult? How
can art teachers help students value the process of exploration to find multiple possibilities?
Schaechter has considered these questions to explore the challenges that artists face. She developed a quiz to guide
her students in the exploration and discussion of their own creativity in practice – looking at inspiration, work
habits, motivation, beliefs and audience.

Unless noted, materials will be supplied. all participants may wish to bring a sketchbook,
digital camera or a flash drive to document or save their studio experiences.
a. 3-D Computer Modeling | rod McCormick
Computer graphic characters used in films such as Toy Story, are first created as 3-D digital
models. Architects and industrial designers also use 3-D software for design and visualization.
This studio is an introduction to 3-D computer modeling and participants review some
programs that are suitable for classroom use by comparing and contrasting software such
as Rhino3D, form-Z, BonZai3D and Google SketchUP. Create 3-D virtual objects and learn
more about how digital files are turned into physical objects using 3-D printing technology.
Attendees receive a tour of the UArts 3-D lab which includes an EnvisonTEC Perfactory,
“personal factory,” 3-D printer.
B. animation | Karl Staven
Everyone loves animation, but how can you work with students to allow them to create
animation in your high school, especially with what you have on hand? If you have a digital
still camera, anything is possible. In this workshop, participants create simple animation
projects and discover what is possible with basic tools and equipment. Participants are
strongly encouraged to bring a digital still camera for this studio.
C. painting with Light | John Woodin
Participants “paint” with light and then animate the work. Using a digital camera, long
exposure, and hand-held lights, workshop participants learn techniques for making light
paintings – still photographs composed of streaks of light which illuminate only portions
of the space in a photograph. Working as a group, participants collaborate in the creation
of a sequence of light paintings that are animated into a short movie using Adobe Photoshop.
Participants should have basic computer skills and a willingness to collaborate.
D. Hot Glass Jewelry | Benjamin Wright
Produce simple hot glass jewelry using a microwave to fuse the glass. Workshop participants
learn how to design, cut and fabricate jewelry from a myriad of sheet glass designs and colors.
These designs are then placed in UArts’ microwave kiln from which will emerge fully-fused
glass jewelry in a matter of minutes. Techniques presented can be replicated as a high school
project. Preparing small sketches and ideas in advance of the workshop is encouraged.
e. plaster printing | rebecca Gilbert
This studio explores one method of printing drypoints and monoprints, using plaster.
Without the need for a press or paper, this process results in dimensional printed objects
that can be reproduced and drawn back into. This is a fun and non-toxic process appropriate
for varying skill levels and great for teachers with limited equipment who wish to introduce
printing techniques to students. Participants create and take home a finished product printed
onto plaster. Bring some small sketches and ideas with you to begin the process.
F. printing with InkaID | Jeannie pearce
Print onto unusual surfaces using InkAID. This studio introduces the basics of digital printing
and specifically works with InkAID coated onto a variety of paper surfaces. These coatings
provide the ability to ink jet print on virtually any type of substrate with clean, clear, crisp
imaging, brilliant colors and high definition. Participants should bring some digital files
(images and photographs) and/or a digital camera. There will be some work on the Macintosh
computer. Please wear casual clothing while painting paper with the InkAID liquid material.
G. Wearable art | Christina Day
In this studio, consider materials, found objects and unconventional items as both sculpture
and garment. Beginning with the opportunity to observe some UArts Pre-College Saturday
School students presenting their final wearable art pieces, participants gather ideas and then
work hands-on to create a unique headdress/wig piece. Discover meaning in dress and costume
by creating sculptural forms that consider scale and texture. Projects require no special
equipment and can be adapted into a high school art curriculum. Participants should bring
a pair of regular (non-fabric) scissors as well as small pliers or wire cutters (for bending wire).

Keynote SpeaKer
Judith Schaechter’s stained glass narratives are a paradoxical assemblage of medieval depictions, mediated by contemporary tales of human failings. In a field much better
known for abstraction, her imagery relies on painstaking draftsmanship and the figure. She has given new meaning to the stained glass genre precisely by adopting its historical
function as didactic narrative. Schaechter balances the methods of painting on glass that harken back to the middle ages with an unmistakably contemporary style aligned
with those of underground comics and political artists. She has exhibited widely, and is the recipient of many grants, including the Guggenheim Fellowship, two National
Endowment for the Arts Fellowships, the Louis Comfort Tiffany Award, two Pennsylvania Council on the Arts awards, the Pew Fellowship in the Arts, and a Leeway Foundation
grant. Her work is in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Corning Museum of Glass, the Renwick Gallery of the
Smithsonian Institution, and numerous other collections. She has taught at the Pilchuck Glass School in Seattle, the Penland School of Crafts, Toyama Institute of Glass
(Toyama, Japan), Rhode Island School of Design, the Pennsylvania Academy, and the New York Academy of Art. Schaechter is currently an Adjunct Professor in the Crafts
department at the University of the Arts. Her work was included in the 2002 Whitney Biennial and she is a 2008 USA Artists Rockefeller Fellow. She is represented by Claire
Oliver gallery in New York. For more information visit judithschaechter.com
