Advanced Classes & Workshops

Multi-week Sessions

PGC's in-depth eight-week classes for intermediates are a great way to take your skills to the next level. Try one out, love it, and then repeat it as many times as you want.

Hot Glass III

Price: $550

In this class, you will be encouraged to focus on directions that interest you as a developing glass artist while still receiving direction and support for refining basic skills and methodology. You will learn about a broad range of more complicated techniques including use of solid color, mold-blowing, and compound shapes as you create unique vessels. This class can be repeated as content will vary by session. 48 hours hot glass class/workshop experience, or permission of the instructor required. Basic materials provided.

This class is excellent for those individuals who would like to be certified as an instructor to teach workshops at PGC. For more information on how to become a TA or instructor, contact Registrar Sam Laffey at 412.365.2145 x208.
