Classes
Classes give you a more in depth exposure to glass, meeting once a week for six weeks. These classes will be more drill based, working towards an ultimate goal of knowledge and specifics of design. We will be teaching and focusing on learning the fundamentals of understanding temperature. Glass is always fun and exciting; the potential for improvement is endless. Once one can understand the medium and learn to move safely, we can make our designs come to life.
Glass Blowing Chops (introduction and review) six weeks
This class will focus on gaining an understanding of hot glass and the bubble. Over the six weeks, through exercises we will slowly work our way towards making cups. Each class we will build skills and understanding realizing the why and how as we become comfortable with turning, heating, and moving around with 2000F glass. We will also cover basic bit work and handles. $600

Glass Blowing Shape Shifting (Once the understand of a cylinder is there)In this class we will work with the bubble and transform our cylinders into other forms. Leaning about glass placement and stepping up our size slightly we can work towards the forms in our head. By the end of the six weeks, we will be working towards the form we imagined. This is where basic problem solving, drawing, and writing out your steps become important. (Low forms will be covered but this is not a bowl class) $600
