Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this glass blowing class:

This class is designed to introduce students to inlayed image application and how they can enhance their work through the addition of imagery to blown glass forms. From intricate and complex patterns to abstract image application, students will work from line-based compositions while learning how vitreous glass paints behave when applied to different contours. Working with opaque colored glass, we will create three dimensional canvases while considering the relationship between image and form. Finished works are encouraged, but the aim of this class is to create a foundation from which students can elevate their artwork to new heights.

Demonstrations and hands-on experience will include straight forward approaches to blown vessels, photo transfer, sand carving, and glass paint application. Students can bring their own images or work from a catalog of designs available for the class. This course is best suited for individuals with at least 2 years of glassblowing experience.

What to Expect:

  • Class time will be split between demonstrations and practice in teams.
  • The hot shop is a loud studio, and can get quite warm.
  • Glassblowing takes repetition and practice - expect failures along with successes.
Eligibility:

  • This course is best suited for individuals with at least 2 years of glassblowing experience.
Pick-up:

  • The glass needs to cool down overnight, so the students will have to return to UrbanGlass once notified to pick up their work.
