Glass cane is an exciting method for adding intricate line work and colorful designs to blown glass. This traditional Venetian technique is a beautiful way to elevate your glass work and express yourself creatively.

Join resident artist Michael Carson for a three-day, special topic class and create complex patterns and different cane styles beyond the basic filigrana cane roll up. 

In this class you’ll learn how to:

• Make a variety of cane patterns and combine them in creative layouts before rolling them up;

• Use color bar and frit to create a simple murrini cane that will be used to make more complex twisty cane;

• Incorporate cane into your work in new ways beyond the standard roll up.

Michael will give short demonstrations daily with plenty of work time in between for you to practice new skills and bring your own creative ideas to the process. 

* Glass 2 or equivalent required. Previous cane experience recommended.
