Glass Sculpture Classes in NYC, New York

In the spirit of Halloween, students will bring their designs to life with wearable art. The flameshop will become our laboratory of horrors, as we conjure our innermost Dr. Frankenstein; fabricating and concocting characters, masks and costumes. Group and individual demonstrations will be given and students will model their projects at the end of...

Many objects, forms, and materials can be translated into glass through the art of mold making. This two-day intensive workshop is packed with information about basic mold making for kiln casting. Students will be working with clay and wax to create positives to directly translate into glass. Students will then learn how to hand-build two high-fire...

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 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...

How can you have Hot iced tea? By blowing the glass yourself of course! In this three hour class, students will try their hand at hand blown drink-ware using traditional glassblowing techniques and block molds. Using a mold instead of hand-blowing, produces a symmetrical and beautiful tall iced tea glass, perfect for cooling all Summer long.

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...

In this workshop, embark on a Promethean exploration into the world of responsive and interactive sculpture. Explore strategies for adding a responsive element to sculpture through physical computing using sensors, microcontrollers, glass, and plasma to create opportunities for interactivity. Curious participants are invited to play and experiment...

Blow it, sculpt it, cut it, polish it- then pick it back up and do it again! Let’s use the hot glass shop to explore simplified blown and sculpted forms. We will look at post-gathering and working the glass thick and even. From there we will cold work and enamel the objects. In the cold shop we will engrave, grind or sandblast. Day 3 we pick our...
