High School Flameworking

Price: $325

After a discussion of studio set-up and safety demonstrations, we will introduce students to the use of heat and gravity to shape molten glass at the torch. Demonstrations will alternate with working time. Students will be introduced to design concepts and jewelry findings if they are interested. Then, students will be introduced to Borosilicate glass, a higher temperature glass, which they can use to make hollow forms and small sculpture. After that, students will be free to focus on the process which is most appealing to them.
