Course Description

Purple, and Pink Witchball Image
Witch balls are a traditional glass novelty originating in 17th century England.  They were hung in windows to ward off any evils that may vex the occupants.

In this workshop you will get the opportunity to make your own.  You’ll get to pick from a selection a glass colors and be guided by the instructor in applying and melting the color to the molten clear glass gathered out of our furnace.  Then, you will be assisted in forming the interior decoration that is unique to Witches Ball’s.  The instructor will then help achieve the final shape while you blow air in to inflate it into an ornament.

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