 Glassblowing 1A (Beginner)​



​This introductory class is designed for people who want to immerse themselves in the magic of glass. Totally hands-on exercises allow you to learn the basics of  traditional free-form glass blowing.

We’ll touch on safety in the hot shop, learning which tool does what, key glassblowing terms, how to gather out of the furnace, pop bubbles and shape glass. 

You’ll work in teams to assist each other in creating your artwork. The goal for each student is to make perfect bubbles, paperweights, flowers and a drinking cup.​
