Designed for students with an introductory foundation in the hotshop who are looking for a little more guidance, this class will offer the technical support you need to bring your ideas to life. We will focus on practicing skills through a series of demos and exercises that students can put into practice and improve their skills. Please bring sketches and ideas to the first day of class so we can plan exercises with your goals in mind!
What to Expect: Students will gain skills through focused demonstrations, drills, and practice time.
Eligibility: Previous glassblowing experience required. You should have 1-2 years of experience, and feel comfortable gathering and moving through the steps of making a basic cup. Don’t feel ready yet? Check out our more introductory classes to build your skills. Open to ages 14 and up.
Pick-up: The glass needs to cool down overnight each week, so the students will have to return to UrbanGlass once notified to pick up their work.
This is an in-person class taking place on-site at UrbanGlass. Health and safety guidelines will be emailed to you upon registration.
