Discover the beauty of engraved glass! This class will explore patterns and textures, using a variety of coldworking equipment and tools such as lathes, belt sanders, and flat grinders. In addition to acquiring glass engraving skills, students will also learn grinding and polishing techniques. Investigate the exciting medium of glass printing (Vitreography)...

Spend a weekend in the glassblowing studio with master glass sculptor Deborah Czeresko. Czeresko will share her personal approach, honed over her 30-year career, to sculpting this transformative liquid and manipulating glass into both abstract and figural forms. This fun and fast-paced two-day weekend workshop is perfect for the aspiring glass sculptor....

Using wire and metal sheets, students will create armatures and form architectural structures to support 3-dimensional stained glass pieces. By integrating a metal framework within glass sculptures, students will be able to create new and inventive works, playing with scale, shape, and pushing into new territories in stained glass. We will learn how...

The art of mould making can be translated into many forms and materials.  This workshop will give you the knowledge of kilncasting glass using high-fire refractory. Through this process, we will be covering techniques to house a range of mediums, allowing us to create multiples. Basic cold working will also be taught, to help produce a ready-to-display...

This three day workshop is packed with information about all your basic mold making needs for kiln casting.  In this introductory class, students will be working with clay and wax to create positives to be directly translated into glass.  Two high fire refractory molds will be prepared in the kilns to complete the process of melting glass...

Explore color, light and form through the creation of abstract, 3-dimensional stained glass sculptures using the Tiffany method.  The class is open to beginners or intermediate students and will cover basic glass cutting, cold working with grinders and dremel, copper foil, soldering, and final assemblage of the sculpture.  In addition,...

In this skill-building flameworking course, students will be working with borosilicate glass. Each week a different project will be initiated, which will focus on a specific skill. Projects include: Networked sculptural forms, solid and hollow sculptural forms, small jars, pendants, marbles, and working with color. This class will also discuss annealing,...

What happens when we think of glass as the shaper of light? Creating and experimenting with how glass and light interact we will make assemblages and record different types of holograms. We will shape light with glass and capture these light structures using a laser to etch the holographic prints. How holograms can be used to shape light and carry...

The process of melting glass to make artwork has been around for over 2000 years. You will get hooked on this enduring art form as you learn to cut, layer, and stack glass that will be melted (fused) in a kiln. Learn the difference between a full fuse and tack fuse, and create pieces with color and depth that can only be achieved with this medium....

Working with solid borosilicate glass, students will explore methods for constructing complex structures with a torch from sketches and drawings. Projects begin with a scale drawing, which is transferred onto a kiln shelf, then used as a template to bend glass.  This class will incorporate demonstrations, technical samples and slide presentations...

This is a hands on class concentrating on scientific glass techniques and how they are beneficial to artistic endeavors.  Bends, side seals, pulling points, ring seals, wrapping coils, colored glass use and freehand blowing as well as use of a blow hose will be practiced. The final class will focus on flame worked goblets. Some completed goblet...
