Classes
Flameworking: Marbles + Sculpture (B)
Students will focus on using the torch to create one-of-a kind marbles out of Italian glass. Several designs will be taught and we will discuss how these tools and techniques can also be used to make simple sculptures like ornaments and plant decorations. Students will also learn the science and theories of making glass objects through the different lessons and demonstrations each week. This is a very hands-on class and all will walk away with some marbles to display.
