Course Description

In this workshop you will be making a unique garden ball from hot glass. Guided and assisted by the instructor, you will apply color to molten glass and blow a bubble in the glass. You will get to use special glass-making tools to create your design and heat your work in a 2100-degree furnace as your garden ball takes shape.

To finish your work of art, you will get to knock the piece off the pipe and the instructors will place the piece in a 900-degree oven to anneal.

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.
