Description

In this five–day class we will explore fundamentals and techniques for working with borosilicate glass. We will make small marbles, animals, and hollow bottles as we build on the basics of manipulation and addition of hot glass in the flame. We will round out this class by exploring surface design with color rod and frit designs for getting that artistic look that is an exciting addition to clear rod and tubing.

Torch set up and adjustment will be covered as well as home studio design/safety, regulators, ventilation, and oven selection.

All levels of experience are welcome to this class.
