Description
Explore the exciting technique of networking. This 8-week class teaches a specialized technique for building complex forms by bending and welding small-diameter glass rods together. Using a hand torch, you can bend the glass rods precisely to a pattern to create 2D drawings in glass or complex 3D forms. Demonstrations will also include the use of color, stringer pulling, and some basic moving parts, such as hinges. The class will include one-on-one troubleshooting to assist with the planning, pattern making, and building stages of your sculptural forms. Class tuition includes 2 hours of open-studio time to be used during the 8-week course period. Open Studio is held on Monday Nights 5:00pm - 9:00pm.
