Sayaka Suzuki has an intimate relationship with nature. Hunting and gathering in woods and forests is a long tradition in human history. Suzuki collects the evidence of the cycles of life that take place all around us, all the time. Using glass-making and fabric techniques, she fashions things like bones and bird's nests into visual poetry.

Sayaka Suzuki is a Richmond-based artist who works and teaches extensively throughout the region. She is currently an adjunct professor at Virginia Commonwealth University.

Sayaka Suzuki will teach a Master Class at MOCA on Saturday, October 15
Visual Pull of the Canvas: Three Layers of Glass to Create a Painting
Members $50 / Non-members $65
This master class will introduce students to glass making with a twist, a contemporary approach to a material and new way of thinking about the tradition of "painting" and "glass art." Through the use of a cutter and grinder, glass will be transformed into different shapes and high temperature enamel will be used as a painting material to transform the glass into a canvas of over-lapping imagery.
This program has been organized by the VMFA Office of Statewide Partnerships and is funded, in part, by the Jean Stafford Camp Memorial Fund.
