GLASSORN - Glass Ornament

Course Description

In this three-hour workshop you will be guided and assisted through the process of making a personalized ornament. Utilizing molten glass gathered (dipped) from the GlasStation’s furnace, you will get to apply color to your glass and create a unique design of your choosing. The instructor will then help shape the glass while you blow air in to inflate it into an ornament.

To finish your ornament, you will get to knock the piece off the pipe and the instructors will attach a loop, and 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 class must cool in an annealing oven and will be available for pick-up at a later date.

Workshops are limited to ten (5) participants. Minimum of four (3) participants.
