Glass Icicle Ornaments

Saturday, November 23rd, from 9a - 12p

Ages:  18+ years old

Using a surface mix torch, create your own glass icicle ornaments out of borosilicate glass rods. We will discuss important studio safety procedures. All materials included.

IMPORTANT: Students taking glass courses 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 in the way of the torch is strongly discouraged. Please wear clothing that is not essential to your wardrobe. MASKS ARE REQUIRED. 

Blown Glass Ornaments Using Glaskolben

Sunday, November 24th, from 1p - 3p

Ages: 18+ years old

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 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 six 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.
