BAGI's Discover Glass Offerings:
Shape a Bowl
|
Shape a bowl with the assistance of an expert instructor using basic glassblowing techniques in BAGI's hot shop. You'll safely experience working with 2000°F molten glass at the end of a turning steel rod. You'll spend two hours with fellow students and a skilled artist who will keep it both safe and fun. In the end, with expert assistance, you will have made your very own bowl using traditional glassblowing techniques which involve blowing a glass form, transferring it to a punty rod and opening it up to create its final shape. (The bowl will need to be picked up days after the event, as blown glass needs to cool slowly in an annealing oven.)

Paperweight and Flower

The original BAGI discover glass class, this course is designed to suit students that are looking for the experience of working with glass, but have not yet decided to dive in head first to take sixteen hours of instruction. It is more of an activity course than an instructional course. It is something totally different and fun to do with your friends, family or co-workers.
You'll safely experience working with 2000°F molten glass at the end of a turning steel rod. You'll spend two hours with some classmates and a great instructor who will keep it both safe and fun. In the end, you will have made a glass paperweight, a glass flower, and you will have had a great time. |
