Glass Sampler Workshop
Starting at $300 | 2-4 Hours | Make multiple pieces
What to Expect
What you’ll learn:
- The fundamentals of hot shop safety
- The difference between blown and solid-sculpted glasswork
- How to manipulate glass using shaping molds, tweezers, shears, and/or jacks
- How colors and patterns move across the molten glass as it is shaped
What you’ll make:
Solid sculpting an item involves plenty of hands-on manipulation of the glass using open-face shaping molds, tweezers, shears, and/or jacks. Making a blown piece allows you to experience the fluidity of the material and to see how colors and patterns change as they move with an expanding bubble. You'll choose which pieces you're most interested in making, the instructor will demonstrate the process for creating each type of item, and then assist as you make your own.
The solid-sculpted pieces could be:
- a paperweight (with trapped bubbles and/or swirled color; rounded or pointed),
- a sculpted heart,
- a sculpted egg, or
- a sculpted mushroom.
Your blown items could be:
- an ornament (with hook) or tabletop orb/float,
- a pumpkin,
- a small drinking glass,
- a free-form vase,
- a bubble character, or
- a double-walled bowl.
Includes
All glass, color, and tools required to make your pieces are included.
