Glass Fruits and Flowers Workshop" is a creative journey of exploration where colors and techniques come together. What will we do in the workshop?
Hibiscus and Leaf Murrini Making
In the first part of the workshop, we will learn how to create Hibiscus and Leaf murrinis. We will examine the entire process and discuss which types of glass are suitable for this work.
In this course, the ever-changing rhythms and inspiring textures of nature, elements such as plants, stones, water and soil will be processed by creating original designs. While participants will discover how organic forms and textures in nature are reflected on the glass surface and their relationship with light, they will also learn the basics of the lost wax technique and gain the ability to produce a work from start to finish by putting it into practice at every stage.
Join us for an immersive, hands-on experience in the world of glass art, where you'll have the unique opportunity to learn from two master artisans. Over the course of several days and nights, you'll engage in extensive glassblowing and engraving practices. Work directly with the masters in both the hot shop and the cold shop, gaining valuable insights and refining your skills in these essential areas of glassmaking.
We present Julia Dubenko’s masterclass on blown hollow beads. In this course, you will learn the stages and intricacies of blowing hollow beads using a tube and the necessary toolset; round, flat, and tube-shaped. You will see how to decorate the beads with materials such as dots, lines, enamels, and silver. By the end of the course, each student will be able to create their own jewelry or an art object using the beads they have blown.

This workshop will be a great start for students that wish to start working with cane or that use cane but would like some direction towards more complicated projects. Emphasis on proper glassblowing techniques such as gathering, marvering, and shaping will establish a solid foundation to build your designs on. I will work through
This workshop has been prepared to introduce and allow participants to experience the glass-embedded ceramics method uniquely developed by Prof. Mustafa AÄŸatekin. In fact, both ceramics and glass are art fields with technical requirements and limitations that demand technical knowledge, equipment, and experience. These necessities not only determine the conditions under which the two materials can be used together through a thermal process, but also directly affect the boundaries and outcomes of their interaction. Throughout the workshop, the artist will conduct a program consisting of practical applications aimed at exploring the possibilities of using glass and ceramic materials together.
The first week focuses on breaking out of our well-crafted comfort zone and explore the wider artistic potential of hot glass. We will look at how inspiration can be developed as a skill, how to recognize what draws our attention, and how to translate that essence back into the material. Glassblowing will be approached as a language for self-expression. We will explore how process influences meaning, how technique becomes voice, and how changing the way a piece is made can shift what it communicates. Throughout the week, participants will develop one strong idea, allowing it to grow through testing, color studies, form exploration, and prototyping before finally producing fully realized works.
This immersive workshop invites students to explore the boundaries of lampworking through the vision of Maestro Lucio Bubacco. The course aims to guide participants through the conceptualization and execution of glass sculptures, crafted entirely from COE 104 glass using traditional and innovative lampworking techniques.
