$70 More Info

Sunday November 14th * 1:00pm to 4:00pm 

This class presumes some torchwork glass experience prior to enrolling in the class. We will explore several methods of creating glass cane for drawing leaves, vines and flowers. If there is time, we will make a floral bead of your imagining to learn how to apply the cane once it has been created.                                                                                               

IMPORTANT: Students taking glass courses using a torch must wear natural fiber clothing (i.e., cotton shirt and denim jeans), closed-toe shoes, and hair tied back and out of the way. Loose clothing that will be in the way of the torch is strongly discouraged. Please wear clothing that is not essential to your wardrobe.

Blown Glass Ornaments Using Glaskolben

with Susan Matych-Hager

November 15th, 2026

$50 More Info

Sunday November 15th * 1:00pm - 4:00pm

Try your hand at making blown-glass ornaments. Using an oxygen-propane torch, students will learn basic techniques for using pre-blown glaskolben to make blown-glass ornaments. Frit will be used to add color to the clear glaskolben. Learning how to control heat, gravity and blowing techniques will determine your success.

Creating these colorful ornaments will provide students a basis for working glass further in the torch. Each student will be provided 6 glaskolben. When you pick up your ornaments, be sure to bring packing material and a small container to transport your ornaments to the safety of your home. Basic torch safety will be discussed.

IMPORTANT: Students taking glass courses using a torch must wear natural fiber clothing (i.e., cotton shirt and denim jeans), closed-toe shoes, and hair tied back and out of the way. Loose clothing that will be in the way of the torch is strongly discouraged. Please wear clothing that is not essential to your wardrobe.

Patriotic Christmas Tree with Jim and Amy Anderson Every year we have a different tree for students to make and add to their Holiday collection. This years Christmas Tree will commemorate 250 years of our wonderful USA, in colors of red, white, and blue. Students will start by making a coil tree and adding clay balls and topped with a star using a slip and score method of attachment. The clay balls and star will be painted with red and blue colored slips. The tree will be slow dried and bisque fired, then glazed fired in white with the colors popping through. The trees will be ready to pick up in 2 - 3 weeks and ready for the Christmas Holiday!
