When adjunct professor Leo Tecosky broadcasts live this week to a global community of glass artists from Tyler’s studio, his presentation will include hot glass sculpting, enamel work and engraved surfaces, and the poignant message: Black Lives Matter. Tecosky says, “Tyler is the best place to explore experimental glass work because the shop is great and the community is always ready to help out.” And he wanted his demo, which is inspired by graffiti, protest, and the Black Lives Matter movement, to resonate globally. Tecosky will live stream on Thursday, May 20 from 3—5:00 pm EST, as part of the Glass Art Society’s virtual 2021 conference lineup. In addition, Tyler alumni Shay Summers (BFA ’20) will demonstrate cold-working techniques learned while studying at Tyler to engrave portraits on glass safely at home without a studio or specialized equipment.
