Glassblowing

Molten glass has been blown and formed into works of
art for at least 2300 years. In our glass studio you
will experience all the facets of this ancient art form
from the creative to the technical. The glass studio
is equipped with a 250 pound tank furnace, a sand blaster,
two electric annealing ovens and three glory holes.
In the process of working with hot glass you will be
involved with casting and slumping, as well as glassblowing.
There
will be a strong emphasis on developing basic skills,
but you will also be encouraged and given the opportunity
to experiment with historical as well as more contemporary
techniques as you develop proficiency in the medium.
In the course of the program you can expect to produce
such classic forms as vessels and stemware, as well
as more non-traditional pieces.
