Frit will be used to add color to the clear glaskolben. Learning to control heat, gravity, and blowing techniques will determine your success. Creating these colorful ornaments will give students a basis for further working glass 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.
