Week 1:
Equipment, Tools, Safety and Your first gather of glass
Basic introduction to equipment, tools and safety. We will
then dive right in to learning how to gather glass from our furnace and becoming familiar
with the material.
Once comfortable you can move on to practicing shaping our glass on our steel table (Marver) and then maneuvering to our bench and practice placing Jack lines.
Week 2:
Paperweights, Roses and More!
Getting comfortable moving around the studio, getting your gathers and shaping your glass are key skills to making your first pieces of glass. The simplest items to make in the glass studio are solid objects. These will help you practice the basic techniques.
Week 3:
Making CupsBlowing a bubble and learning to shape it is the backbone to any blown form, whether it's a cup, bowl or vase.
Week 4:
Keep Practicing
We will start by practicing what we learned in the previous
class making cups. This class is reserved for really getting through the cup making process on your own with as much (or little) help from our instructor as you need.
As always, safety is our number one priority in the glass studio, so please read our safety policies before showing up for the class.
SAFETY POLICIES:
Safety is our number one priority here in the glass studio, so please make sure to READ the following:
1. Dress comfortably, but do not wear any synthetic clothing. (i.e. polyester, nylon, rayon, etc.)
2. Closed toed shoes are required in the glass studio. (No open toed sandals or shoes.)
3. It gets hot in the glass studio so bring a water bottle to keep hydrated (We have free water available)
4. Make sure to eat something before the class.
Outcome of each class differs based on the individuals skill level and everyone learns at a different rate.
