Delve into large–scale, soft glass processes. You’ll learn about the equipment and process, then explore some beginner techniques for solid shaping and sculpting. We’ll also cover a technique called bubble trapping, which lets you capture small pockets of air inside the glass. You’ll create three objects: a paper weight, a caterpillar and a feather.

  • This class will be conducted outside in our courtyard with the instructor’s mobile hot glass furnace.
  • Classes are confirmed one week prior to the start date. In order to help us confirm classes, please register as early as possible.
