Glass 1 (Level 1)

Four-week and weekend intensive classes are available

Classes have a maximum of 6 students and a minimum of 4 students.

OCTOBER

• Sunday, Oct. 11 and Sunday, Oct. 18 from 9:00am - 5:30pm with Emily Potter

• Join us for an introduction to glassblowing! 

  Glass 1 introduces basic glassblowing tools and equipment. Students learn how to gather molten glass from the furnace, how to add a bubble to the glass, and how to shape the glass using traditional tools and techniques. Once a student completes Glass 1 they are eligible to advance to Glass 2.

  A bit about what to expect:

  • The goal of Glass 1 is to start students on the path to becoming glassblowers.

  • Glass 1 focuses on the learning process over the finished products.

  • Glassblowing is a physical art form that requires standing and lifting while working close to hot equipment.

  
  Glass 1 is offered in two formats:

  One night a week for four weeks, or in an intensive two-day weekend workshop*. No prior experience needed. 

  *There will be an hour break for lunch during the weekend class. Lunch is not provided.
