Here is what we are offering FOR OUR EXPERIENCED STUDENTS!

*we are hoping to have another 6 week beginner class on the schedule in May*
The classes below are for experienced students only. There are no online sign ups for these classes. If you are joining us with experience from a different studio we highly recommend working one on one with an instructor before requesting to be in a class.
​This is to ensure that you are placed in the appropriate class for your skill level to maximize your enjoym
ent. 

​Requests are first come first serve with priority given to students that were signed up for the previous session.
We suggest giving a back up request just in case as many classes are filled with returning students!
​Please be patient with our slow response time as we let the requests come in before getting back to you.

SHAPE UP!
w/ Emery Wenger
MONDAYS 6:30-9:30pm:  
LEVEL: ADVANCED BEGINNER 
STARTS March 20th (6 WEEKS)
COST: $690
After a review on the importance of the bubble set up, heat distribution & body mechanics, we will work on troubleshooting the steps it takes to achieve various new shapes. Ranging from angular shapes like the cone and cylinder, to the all-curving hyperboloid, sphere, and bowl. The touch of the tool will be different for each and we will really concentrate on cause and effect when touching the glass so we can make our shapes with intention and precision.

MEDIEVAL GLASS
w/ Shannon Floyd

TUESDAYS 6:30-9:30pm:  
LEVEL: ADVANCED BEGINNER/ INTERMEDIATE 
STARTS MARCH 21st (6 WEEKS)
COST: $690

This class will focus on making glass in the medieval style. With lots of decorations to keep your wine from slipping out of your greasy medieval hands! Looking back at glass made during this time there are some pretty challenging techniques, some beautiful techniques, and then some really kind of questionable application techniques. This class will be a fun one with lots of teamwork and weird ideas....the best combination!

 INTRO TO STEMWARE
w/
 Zach Herrmann
WEDNESDAYS 6:30-9:30pm:

LEVEL: INTERMEDIATE
STARTS MARCH 22nd (6 WEEKS)
COST: $690
​
​We just tried our hand at 6 weeks of feet and adding bits. Let's take this concept of stacking parts to the next level. We will be adding everything from small decorative "knops" to pretty pulled stems and then attaching both blown and solid feet to our stems. This class will be fun AND frustrating for those who have never tried making stemware. (Being in the previous Wed class is helpful but not a prerequisite!)
*this class will not be meeting on April 5th, instead there will be a week added on to the session making the last class on May 3rd*

WRAP & ROLL
​w/ DJ Benyosef

THURSDAYS 6:30-9:30pm:
LEVEL: INTERMEDIATE/ ADVANCED
STARTS MARCH 23rd (6 WEEKS)
COST: $690
We are coming off of an incredible EIGHTEEN weeks of cane classes!! Cane is great, but there are many equally fun and far less labor intensive ways to get dramatic color effects into your glass in order to make it visually stunning. This class will focus on using wraps as decoration. After learning to serve up and apply the "perfect wrap" we will use tools, molds, gravity, centrifugal force, and switching the axis of the bubble (promise this time!) to manipulate the wrap into a desired pattern. 


​If you don't want the commitment of a 6-week class
