  • Edward M. Eyring
    The Chemistry Department 1946-2000 Written by: Edward M. Eyring Assisted by: April K. Heiselt & Kelly Erickson Henry Eyring and the Birth of a Graduate Program In January 1946, Dr. A. Ray Olpin, a physicist, took command of the University of Utah. He recruited a number of senior people to his administration who also became faculty members in various academic departments. Two of these administrators were chemists: Henry Eyring, a professor at Princeton University, and Carl J. Christensen, a research scientist at Bell Laboratories. In the year 2000, the Chemistry Department attempts to hire a distinguished senior faculty member by inviting him or her to teach a short course for several weeks as a visiting professor. The distinguished visitor gets the opportunity to become acquainted with the department and some of the aspects of Utah (skiing, national parks, geodes, etc.) and the faculty discover whether the visitor is someone they can live with. The hiring of Henry Eyring did not fit this mold because he was sought first and foremost to beef up the graduate program for the entire University rather than just to be a faculty member in the Chemistry Department. Had the Chemistry Department refused to accept Henry Eyring as a full professor, he probably would have been accepted by the Metallurgy Department, where he had a courtesy faculty appointment for many years. Sometime in early 1946, President Olpin visited Princeton, NJ, and offered Henry a position as the Dean of the Graduate School at the University of Utah. Henry was in his scientific heyday having published two influential textbooks (Samuel Glasstone, Keith J.

  • Glassblowers of Venice Kept Their Art So Secret That It Almost Died out by Associated Press, Adapted by Newsela Staff on 02.11.16 Word Count 620
    Glassblowers of Venice kept their art so secret that it almost died out By Associated Press, adapted by Newsela staff on 02.11.16 Word Count 620 Glassblower William Gudenrath puts enamel on a bowl with techniques used by Renaissance Venetians at the Corning Museum of Glass in Corning, New York, Jan. 22, 2016. Gudenrath spent decades researching how Renaissance glassmakers produced objects that are now considered works of art. Photo: AP/Mike Groll ALBANY, N.Y. — A modern-day glassblower believes he has unraveled the mysteries of Venetian glassmaking that was crafted during the Renaissance. The Renaissance was a cultural movement in Europe that lasted from the 1300s to the 1600s. During that period, glassmakers' secrets were closely guarded by the Venetian government. Anyone who spoke of them could be killed. Specially Skilled Craftsmen Today's glassblowers work with gas-fired furnaces and electric-powered ovens called kilns. Their studios are well lit and have proper air ventilation. The craftsmen of Murano, an island near Venice, Italy, did not have such technology. Yet they turned out pieces of art popular in museums today. The techniques, or the methods they used to make the objects, remained sought after for centuries. William Gudenrath spent years studying Venetian glass collections at American and European museums. He compared them with newer glasswork from Venice. He experimented on his own and traveled to Italy many times. Gudenrath combined all of his knowledge to produce an online guide. Guiding Modern Artists The guide is called "The Techniques of Renaissance Venetian Glassworking." It was recently posted on the website of the Corning Museum of Glass in New York.

  • Capturing, Preserving, and Sharing the Sounds of Glassmaking
    arts Article Makers Marks: Capturing, Preserving, and Sharing the Sounds of Glassmaking Lisa Naas 1,* and David Faleris 2 1 School of Design, Edinburgh College of Art, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh EH3 9DF, UK 2 Independent Composer, Glasgow G12 9SW, UK; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] or [email protected] Received: 30 November 2018; Accepted: 24 January 2019; Published: 30 January 2019 Abstract: The Makers Marks Collaborative, an international team of glass artists, visual designers, composers, and engineers, embarked on a project together from 2015–2016 to use the glassmaking studio as a staging ground for interdisciplinary, collaborative making. The team aimed to capture and preserve the sounds of traditional studio glassmaking, and then to share them outside the workshop domain through digital technologies and glass art objects. The goal was also to fulfill a public engagement grant from the Royal Academy of Engineering to highlight the engineering through the art and the engineers’ vision within the art making. The team recorded and isolated the unique sounds of the glassblowing process and its studio environment, and then used the resulting digital sound collection as the foundation for developing artistic outputs: a virtual instrument library, a glass object-instrument of performance, a series of glass objects translating selected virtual instruments, and a music composition. They questioned the nature and materiality of glass through dialogue between media and conversation among team members, while exploring the practice-based research question: “How can we embed our recorded sounds of the glassmaking process back into the glass itself?” This paper focuses on the collaborative, interdisciplinary making process of the team, the project outputs, and the metaphorical language that was a key process facilitation tool.

  • Caf Ar 419 Glassblowing
    Calle Renier, Dorsoduro 3655 – 30125 Venezia tel. 041.296 0599 CAF AR 419 GLASSBLOWING INSTRUCTOR: Davide Penso [email protected] CLASS: every Tuesday from 3.00 pm to 7.00 pm (56 hours) SITE: Murano Isle COURSE DESCRIPTION The CFA AR 419 Glassblowing is a course that takes place on the Murano Isle, and it is an introduction to the real professional way to approach the torch and how to melt glass. During this course students learn about tools used for creating glass beads. Each student learns how to create his/her own bead and right out of his/her first jewelry, through the assistance and monitoring of the instructor. Each student is assigned a workstation equipped with its own workspace and torch. Each workspace has all the tools she/he needs, including: steel spindles or needles, safety glasses, pan pot of graphite, flat pliers to shape the glass, vermiculite to cool beads, etc. In addition, many glass rods of many different colors. The number of students per class is limited to 8. This allows the instructor a personalized evaluation, constant feedback and instructions. During the course, students will learn about tools for beads design and creation, most of glass fusion techniques, from the project to the professional production of the beads, designing jewelry, and strategy of sales. On the 3rd of December, students will visit the Glass Museum in Murano. In addition, the optional visit to the furnace where students can see Giancarlo Signoretto’s glass sculptures, on the 3rd or on the 10th of December. REQUIREMENTS For this course no requirements are asked.
