We will work through initial sketches, efficient production strategies, and marketing/pricing concepts as we Get Sticky with all aspects of product development but with a conceptual twist… Students will get hands-on experience with prototyping sessions guided by Grace Whiteside and the Sticky Glass team and will work together to streamline their production lines; re-inventing what a glass product should or could be.
