Roswell Visual Arts Center highlights glass fusing, resin and fiber arts
Summary
Emily Harrison Ash described year-round programming at the Visual Arts Center including glass fusing, resin projects, fiber arts from crochet to weaving, and classes for beginners through advanced makers.
Emily Harrison Ash, supervisor at the Roswell Visual Arts Center, said the center offers classes, workshops and exhibits year-round and highlighted medium-specific studios such as glass fusing and fiber arts. "One of the most exciting new mediums that we've been playing a lot with is resin," she said, explaining the two-part compounds used in kid-friendly projects.
Ash described the Visual Arts Center as focusing on tactile, hand-based art forms rather than technological media and said programming includes embroidery, weaving and other fiber arts that appeal across age groups. She noted some programs intentionally avoid photography and screen-based media to emphasize hands-on craft. Ash and Argentina both stressed that the facilities are intended to be inclusive for a range of skill levels.
