MONDAYS 6:30-9:30pm:
LEVEL: NOVICE
(AKA ADVANCED BEGINNER)
STARTS OCTOBER 28th
For our newer glassblowers, this course will focus on the fundamental skill of making a successful setup. Beginning with the bottom-weighted spheres and moving to the eggplant set-up, each week we will explore a new vessel shape that takes advantage of these key set-ups. Starting with orbs, we will then move to cylinders, pint glasses, high-shouldered vases, cones, and finally cooling towers.
COST: $690

TUESDAYS 6:30-9:30pm:
LEVEL: INTERMEDIATE
STARTS OCTOBER 29th
Get ready for lots of practice practice practice in this class! We are going to start the session off with drills that will help get you working faster and thinner. Working with thin glass is tough! And we will go over lots of theory that will help your brains understand it, as well as lots of repetition that will help your hands understand it! Not only will we explore working thinner with our good old "bottom weighted sphere" method, but we will also explore an in-depth break down of the Venetian "pull-tip" method, which will then get us ready for the ever coveted "optic twist".
