Janis Miltenberger•Discovery of fauna and flora

Lamp working is a wonderful technique to create components that can be combined into various configurations to form both functional and non-functional sculpture. Inspired by the surrounding flora and fauna, we will concentrate on creating small sculptures and how to best display small works.

In class we will establish basic skills of how to make well-built solid work. Through daily class demonstrations, individual instruction and practice, skills will be gained. We will be using clear and colored borosilicate glass, using a torch and hand tools, we will bend, reconfigure and shape both thin and thick glass rods and blow hollow tubing. You will be expected to come with some ideas and inspiration, and I hope to help you make your ideas into reality.

This class is for all levels of students, with or without previous glass experience.

The cost includes accommodation in a 4-person room, breakfast, lunch and dinner.
