REMOTE GLASS SOUND WORKSHOP HIGHLIGHTING DIFFERENT WAYS OF CREATIVE EXPRESSION USING GLASS WITH GRIET BEYAERT

We’re going to shake it, break it, roll it or whatever you can think of to create sound! 


Join artist Griet Beyaert for a remote glass sound workshop which you can join from the comfort of your own home. Developed specially for the Glass, Meet the Future Film festival 2021 (GMTF) at North Lands Creative. 


You’ll receive full instructions and support to create a short soundbite on film using mainly glass. We will then have an online conversation about the theme around your soundbites. This will give you a chance to see each other’s work. Your contributions will be edited into a short film and released as part of the GMTF 2021 Film Festival programme.

ABOUT GRIET BEYAERT

In her work she explores our perception of the world. Using glass powders she examines the constraints of the material, resulting in diaphanous, crystalline glass sculptures. These forms are used for sound exploration. Combined with programming, projection, light and video they are played live to create immersive soundscapes/installations.
