My Imaginary Heart is a stained glass art studio in Naarm/Melbourne led by artist, Fiona Caskie. The medium of glass allows My Imaginary Heart to draw parallels between the strength and vulnerability of the material with the nature of human experience, emphasising the duality and contradictory nature of existence in recurring themes of love and loss.
Incorporating imagery in glass based on the artist's long-term folklore project and exploration of often overwhelming sensory experiences, My Imaginary Heart expresses what cannot be put into words by drawing heavily upon folklore and fairytale stories and imagery. My Imaginary Heart re-imagines their engagement with and disassociation from their environment through simulacra, character-building, and worlds-within-worlds-within-worlds.
Want to make? Learn the traditional skills of leadlight and/or copper foil and take home a beautiful stained glass piece. Join a workshop with My Imaginary Heart at Melbourne Polytechnic in Naarm/Melbourne, and receive individualised attention within a small group of up to six participants.
Copper foil involves cutting small pieces of glass, wrapping the pieces in copper foil, and soldering together. Copper foil is a meditative and gentle first step into glass art, and a great activity for fostering creativity and self-expression. Select from a one-day session on a Saturday or a four-week evening course. Book with friends, make it a couples night, or an experience just for you. Supported and hosted by Glaas Inc.
Also available, ongoing leadlight and copperfoil workshops at a relaxed pace meeting Wednesday mornings 10am to 1pm at Melbourne Polytechnic. Subsidy may be available through Glaas Inc for those experiencing barriers to access.
