In the Kiln Room: Becky Lauzon

Описание: "In the Kiln Room" is a weekly video series featuring artist talks, studio tours, and demonstrations by Canadian ceramic and glass artists.

In this episode, Becky Lauzon shows us her engraving studio where she finishes clear glass pieces that she has blown in a hot shop. Finishing the pieces by adding soil and a variety of native plants, Becky discusses the ways in which city life and the natural environment are brought together in her practice.

Becky Lauzon is a glass artist and engraver currently based out of Toronto, Ontario. Born and raised in Cochrane Ontario, Becky takes inspiration from the urban landscape and its juxtaposition with the natural world. After graduating from Sheridan College in 2014, she began a four-year residency at the Toronto Harbourfront Center. Through combining living elements with her hand blown free hand engraved transparent glass and the use of optics Becky creates an urban landscape throughout her work. Most recently, Becky has been exploring the use of avocado trees, with her glass creations, creating living installations that she has shown at the Gladstone Hotel’s Grow Op exhibition and the Toronto Artist Project’s Installation Zone. http://www.beckylauzon.ca/
