Glassblowing for Beginners

In this class, you will learn how to gather molten glass on the end of a blow pipe and insert a “bubble” as it cools from its molten state. From this starting point, you will learn how to:

Use hand tools to shape the glass
Add color to jazz up your piece
Transfer your piece from the blowpipe to a punty
Finish the piece and prepare the annealer

You will work in a 2-person team, alternating between the glass blower (gaffer) and the important role of assisting the gaffer.

This class is offered on two different schedules for a total of 14 hours in the studio. This class posting is for the weekday sessions January 8, 9, and 15, 16, from 6pm to 9:30pm.

Prior experience is not necessary.

Students must wear natural fiber clothes and no open toe shoes.

Required Minimum Class Size - 2 students
