BEGINNING WEEKEND WORKSHOPS
Weekend Workshops are designed to give beginners an introduction to basic glassblowing in a fairly short amount of time. Held over two days, each four hour class will give students ample hands-on experience as they learn classic techniques such as gathering the molten glass onto a rod, shaping the glass with tools, blowing basic forms, and applying basic color to the glass. Hot shop safety and etiquette as well as proper form are also stressed from the very beginning. By the end of class, students will have made paperweights, ornaments and floats, small bowls and other shapes (time permitting). Students can expect to make 2 to 4 pieces per class day, which are ready to take home the next day. We also offer shipping for visiting students.

Class size is limited to a maximum of six students to allow everyone ample time to practice their technique with the instructor and teaching assistant. The fee for the weekend workshop is $275, which covers all materials and tools. Payment in full is required at sign up and can be refunded up to one week prior to the start of class.
