Choose your favorite holiday and the figure(s) that represents it.  Learn how to cut glass and use the tools, then choose the glass you will put together to create your fun holiday stand-up!  It could be Santa, a polar bear mother and cub, a fish, a reindeer, a witch, a leprechaun - whatever your imagination dreams up!  The piece will then be fused together and fused again to slump it into a shape that stands up.

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.

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.
