About this Workshop

In this immersive weeklong course, students explore the captivating art of flameworking through a wide range of techniques using borosilicate glass rods and hollow tubing. With an emphasis on torch proficiency and foundational skills, participants gain hands-on experience working with clear glass, colored rods, frit, and shimmering dichroic glass. Through a series of guided projects, students practice and refine their techniques before progressing to more complex constructions as the week unfolds. Class discussions also cover the essentials of setting up a safe and efficient home studio—including design, equipment, and ventilation—ensuring that participants leave ready to continue their practice beyond class. This course is open to all levels, welcoming beginners as well as experienced flameworkers eager to expand and deepen their skills.
