COLOR ME HAPPY!
w/ Emery Wenger
MONDAYS 6:30-9:30pm:  
LEVEL: ADVANCED BEGINNER 
STARTS May 15th (6 WEEKS)
COST: $690
The amount of progress in our last session focusing on various forms was incredible. Now that we all can all effectively execute particular shapes, let's complicate things by adding a ton of color! This class will be a fun intro/ refresher to various color techniques. We will discuss various frit applications as well as the use color bar. We will add frit, twist it, wrap it, pick up color bar, learn about overlays, and much more. We will keep our shapes simple so we can focus on the technique and hand skills it takes to master them while still making colorful and interesting pieces.

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

LEVEL: ADVANCED BEGINNER
STARTS MAY 16th (6 WEEKS)
COST: $690
​
​Starting with a refresher on making and delivering various wraps, trails, handles, prunts, blown bits, and more, we will then start stacking these elements to create stemware! Everything we make will have a foot whether it be trailed on or solid. We will take a look at how glass makers have historically made various types of feet and possibly come up with a few new ideas of our own. This class will be fun AND frustrating for those who have never tried making stemware.

BOOT CAMP
w/
 DJ Benyosef
WEDNESDAYS: 6:30-9:30pm:

LEVEL: INTERMEDIATE
STARTS MAY 17th (6 WEEKS)
COST: $690

In this class we will revisit some very basic concepts through a more advanced lens. Heat and gravity are the two most important tools at your fingertips and are already at work the moment you take your first gather. Let's have fun with some drills, challenges, and repetition to take our skills to the next level! We will make "NO MARVER" cups and roman bottles and work our way to some pull tip cups. After two sessions of making complicated pieces on Wednesday nights, this session will have a lot more repetition. This is a great opportunity to fine tune your process!

This class will focus on bottle making! Starting off with Roman bottles and working our way up to pull-neck bottles; both pulled on the pipe and on the punty.
