Glass Flameworking - Small Critters and Charms

Join us for a fun, hands-on glassblowing class and create your own personalized small critters and tiny objects with guest instructors. Students can create the small design of their choosing. Demonstrations will include the following:

  • Ducks
  • Chickens
  • Snails
  • Dinosaurs
  • Fish
  • Turtles
  • Octopus
  • Plants
  • Fruit
  • Vegetables

Working side-by-side with an experienced glassblower, you'll get an up-close introduction to the mesmerizing art of hot glass. The class begins with a live demonstration showing the full process, followed by your turn to craft your pieces step by step.

You'll learn how to:

  • Apply vibrant colors to molten glass
  • Shape the semi-molten form using traditional tools and techniques
  • Sculpt the glass into the final shape design

Each student creates their own unique pieces. Finished pieces will be placed in a controlled cooling (annealing) process for safety and durability. Completed pieces will be boxed and available for pickup starting the following Monday after 6:00 PM (or via mail within one week upon request).

Important Details:

Eye protection is provided as needed.

Wear natural fibers like cotton and closed-toe shoes. Avoid loose sleeves.

Classes take place in an open warehouse without HVAC. Please dress accordingly.

Age requirement: Minimum 14 years old.
