GLASSCD - Glass Candy Dish

Course Description

In this workshop you will make a unique candy dish from hot glass. Guided and assisted by the instructor, you will apply color to molten glass, blow a bubble in the glass, and then shape the glass into a sphere that is then “sucked” in to form a double-walled bowl that creates the candy dish. You will get to use special glass-making tools to create your design and heat your work in a 2100-degree furnace as your candy dish design takes shape.

To prevent it from cracking, glass must be cooled slowly for at least 12 hours. Artwork made during a glass workshop must cool in an annealing oven and will be available for pick-up at a later date.

Workshops are limited to five participants. Minimum of three participants.
