New Technologies- hand engrave from Ai

Special Event at Venice Glass Week 9th September &10th September 2023

An experimental workshop led by Healy Arts Charity from Scotland. We will combine Artificial Intelligence (AI) design with the traditional craft of diamond point engraving on glass. Participants will have to opportunity to try using an AI design program and use the design to inspire their hand-engraved work, using the heritage skill of diamond point engraving.

The participants will engrave an object that they can take away with them. The workshops will be open to the public and glass artists via pre-booking and drop-in.

The workshop also offers an opportunity to experience and discuss the development of AI and the questions and worries that are associated with this ever-developing technology. Should we be scared of AI? or is it another tool that we can utilise for creativity?

ARCHIVE Glass Orchids by glass artist Siobhan Healy

ARCHIVE Glass Orchids by glass artist Siobhan Healy

 

In the Glass Flowers Gallery, Harvard Museum of Natural History, USA, will be a sculpture display by Scottish artist Siobhan Healy entitled Ghost Orchids. The inspiration for the artist's subtle and thought-provoking piece is the Ghost Orchid (Epipogium aphyllum), a rare British wild flower recently rediscovered after it was thought to be extinct for 23 years. Healy depicts the orchid in transient and ethereal clear glass, encouraging the viewer to reflect on the potential loss of this fragile species—an evocative emblem of the one in five of wild flowers that are threatened with extinction. The glass artist will present a talk on Friday December 2 at 4:00 pm, open to the public, and included with regular museum admission. Ghost Orchids will be on display through March 4, 2012. Free parking for the artist's talk available in the 52 Oxford Street parking garage adjacent to the museum. http://www.hmnh.harvard.edu/press-room/glass-orchids.html
