Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this glass class:

In this introductory course students will develop basic proficiencies in glassblowing. Students should expect to participate in regimented exercises that build foundations for long term success. Focused primarily on hollow work, group work and collaboration are compulsory. Each week students will be introduced to a new concept required to create a hollow vessel. With each passing week the techniques will culminate in the completion of a unique blown object. Each student should expect to be capable of completing a hollow blown cup by the end of this course. 

What to Expect: This course will focus on foundational techniques and each student can expect to bring home a variety of simple forms. Class time will be split between demonstrations and practice in teams. The hot shop is a loud studio, and can get quite warm. Glassblowing takes repetition and practice - expect failures along with successes. Handling glass and tools may require a certain level of dexterity and ability to lift 5-10 lbs approximately.

Eligibility: No previous experience required. Open to ages 14 and up.

Pick-up: The glass needs to cool down overnight, so the students will have to return to UrbanGlass once notified to pick up their work. 

This is an in-person class taking place on-site at UrbanGlass. Health and safety guidelines will be emailed to you upon registration.
