About this Workshop

This five-day course is a progressive learning experience that teaches students how to manipulate borosilicate glass rods into recognizable sculptures, showing movement and character instead of just creating stiff, static glass sculptures. Along with teaching basic fundamentals, the course will emphasize the importance of establishing good habits and a strong foundation for both beginners and those with previous experience.

Key Points

  • Reviewing safety procedures and proper bench setup
  • Understanding the science behind borosilicate glass
  • Organizing the bench for successful, efficient work
  • Setting up and operating the torch
  • Developing basic drawing skills using simple shapes
  • Creating the illusion of movement in a static object
