Serbay Doru 2: Intermediate Beasties

Learn How To Observe Nature Through Glass
 
Once students understand how to construct creatures, the next challenge is learning how nature itself works.
 
Serbay Doru 2 builds directly upon the construction skills introduced in Serbay 1 and shifts the focus toward observation.
 
Students begin exploring colour, transparency, growth patterns, anatomy and natural structure in greater depth while tackling more sophisticated projects inspired by insects, marine life and botanical forms.
 
Throughout the course Serbay demonstrates how careful observation can transform a technically competent piece into one that feels convincing, natural and alive.
 
This course places particular emphasis on:
 
• Naturalistic observation
• Colour layering and transparency
• Silver foil applications
• Botanical construction
• Marine forms and anatomy
• Multi-part assemblies
• Refined finishing techniques
• Visual rhythm and organic growth patterns
• Using colour as a structural tool
 
Projects include silver foiled butterflies, beetles, corals, detailed fish, blown sea anemones, Large leaves and flowers, and framed compositions.
 
By the end of the course students will have a much deeper understanding of how natural forms are structured and how observation can be used to create more sophisticated and visually convincing work.
 
Who Is This Course For?
 
This course is designed for students who already possess basic sculptural construction skills and wish to develop greater refinement, complexity and artistic judgement.
 
The Next Step
 
Serbay 2 asks:
 
"How does nature actually work?"
 
It is the observation stage of the Beasties journey and bridges the gap between construction and interpretation.
 
It is the construction stage of the Beasties journey and provides the technical foundation upon which the later courses are built.
 
Included with the course is a library of supporting material, including Zurich Glass School's hand-drawn visual technical maps, student guides, demonstration notes, reference diagrams, and supplementary learning resources. These materials have been specifically developed to help students revisit techniques and reinforce learning away from the torch. 
 
This E-course can be completed entirely at your own pace. Expect challenges, adjustments, experimentation, repairs, and moments of discovery as part of the learning process.
After purchase, access may take up to 24 hours to activate. Access is provided for six months. Learning options and access details are outlined in the Learning Tiers section.
