about risd glass

Glass is a dynamic medium with limitless possibilities and a high importance in the worlds of art and design. As a major in the Glass BFA program, you'll work with faculty and visiting artists to develop skills in glass blowing, mold making, casting and cold working. This hands-on training leads to a mastery of skills, addresses how material and concept inform one another and lays the foundation for a well-rounded studio practice.

Our graduate programs in Glass advance the medium’s development in contemporary art while preparing artists for careers in this field. In this you receive support from faculty—a highly respected group of practicing artists and dedicated educators—who help you hone practices that demonstrate knowledge of both contemporary art issues and the rich history of art and glass.
