Beginner Level Hot Glass Workshop on December 17th

In this workshop, we will experience something entirely different. Throughout the day, we will learn how to defy gravity with honey-like molten glass in our hands.

So, where do we start? In this workshop, we will first get acquainted with the hot glass studio. Then, we will cover safety rules, how to hold the blowpipe and pontil, workshop movements and exercises, how to gather glass from the furnace, shaping the gathered glass on the marver table, using jacks, necking, shears, and tweezers, mass form exercises, making a round mass with solid glass, making a round mass with solid glass with 2 and 3 nodes, making a paperweight with colored inclusions (flower and twist). With the knowledge and skills we acquire up to this point, we will move on to glass blowing. After improving our mastery of glass, we will conclude our work by blowing a sphere.

*The works created in this workshop will be sent later by shipping, as they will undergo the firing process.
