Pittsburgh Glass Center

This class is the sixth in my Aquatics Series. In this five-day class we will work strictly with borosilicate glass to create fresh and saltwater game fish. We start day one with a few small pendants to warm up. Fish, sting rays, and nudibranchs are on the menu. Next, we dive right into a rainbow trout on a wood branch featuring the new Molten Aura Electrum glass, perfect for those shimmery fish! On day three we’ll make a large Mahi Mahi on water wisps scene and on day four a yellowfin tuna chasing some small schooling fish. On the last day we will make small creatures for our vignettes.

This is a fast-paced, fun-filled class with a lot of time to cement new skills to make great saleable items!

Deb has been flameworking for 35 years and shows you great ideas for more interesting art by adding expressive narratives, drawing the observer in to find their own stories in each one. Grab your gear and let’s go fishing!

Students are asked to bring three bases for your vignettes, preferably wood so they can easily be drilled out for components. Shortly before the class begins, students will receive an email with more details and suggested tools to bring.

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.
