Pittsburgh Glass Center

In this five-day class we will explore the foundations of goblet making in the Venetian style. We will start with the most fundamental ideas of cup making and steadily grow in complexity throughout the class. From a simple tumbler to larger ornamental goblets. We will focus on working and directing a team, understanding the importance and roles of gaffer/assistants, and the timing and process of assembling cups in an effective manner.

This class is best suited for individuals with some experience in glass that are interested in learning about goblet making in the Venetian style. Students should be able to gather effectively and understand the basics of glassblowing.
