Ignite your creativity in the hot shop learning Swedish overlay, stuff cups, and color techniques. But wait, there's more fun in store! Head to the cold shop to take the lathe for a spin, trying cameo, graal engraving, and battuto. Throughout the class, hands-on and personalized instruction will boost your skills. Get ready for a journey that's both enjoyable and enriching!
What to Expect: During the class, we will learn various techniques for layering color in the hot shop. In the cold shop, using the lathe, we will take what we have made in the hot shop and grind through the layers creating patterning and texture. There will be daily demonstrations as well as daily supervised student blow time. Instruction will be personalized to student’s needs.
Additional work time for intensive students: Students will also have access to additional hours in the glassblowing studio, without instruction, on Wednesday - Saturday from 5-8pm.
Eligibility: A couple years of glassblowing experience is recommended but not required. Students should feel comfortable gathering and moving through the steps of making a basic cup.
No experience required. Open to ages 14 and up.
Pick-up: The glass needs to cool down overnight, so the students will have to return to UrbanGlass once notified to pick up their work.
