Explore the exciting technique of networking. This 8-week class focuses on the specialized technique of building complex glass forms by bending and welding small-diameter glass rods with a hand torch. Demonstrations will include creating both 2D and 3D forms, pulling stringers, and the use of color. The course will include one-on-one troubleshooting to assist with the planning, pattern making, and building stages of your sculptural glass forms. This class is great for someone looking to expand their skills at the torch.

In this five-day class we will delve into the world of moving parts. We’ll begin with introductory flameworking details including hot seals, cold seals, and how to turn. Then you can expect many different types of chain (the simplest moving part) leading into the construction of simple mechanisms to make glass move. Bridging, kiln shelf drawing, and gear construction will be addressed.

Bring your sketchbook, compass and straight edge and get ready to build.

Evening Open Studio

Studios are open until 9:30PM for students to practice. Depending on the class, process, and techniques, this time might be highly suggested by instructors for students to use. In other classes, this time might be considered optional.
