Glass Torchwork- Basic Clear Creation

Perfect class for anyone who wants to see and feel what torch glassblowing is like in a low risk, super fun and relaxed class to get their "feet wet." Participants will receive personal instruction about glass working basics, safety, equipment use, torch and glass techniques. You will be making your every own Clear Creation (necklace pendant, paperweight and/or sculptural form) in this lesson! This course is designed for beginners who are enthusiastic about trying new things and want to learn the mysterious art of glass working in a safe and encouraging environment. 

HERE’S THE GAME PLAN:

-Sign up for a ticket- (1 ticket per student, 2 students Max) sign up with a partner, so you can enjoy this exciting new experience with your significant other, bestie or family member!

Your ticket covers all class fees- which pay for fuel and materials, equipment use and kiln annealing (pendants will need to go through an overnight annealing cycle and can be picked up at the Makerspace the following day or if you live out of town can be sent to you via postal service).

-When you get here- Teacher will first demonstrate how to create the project, then students will have one on one instruction while they take their turn on the torch. (One student will create while the other observes, then students will switch).

(Dustin is a really easygoing, patient, and passionate instructor, he will help make you feel comfortable right away in the processes of glassworking and ease any anxieties you might have about trying this new art form).

If you have any questions about buying tickets for non-members or members please let us know.
