In this hands-on class, students will delve into the fascinating world of glass as a medium, focusing on its unique optical qualities and how they interact with the fundamentals of form and surface. 

Through a combination of discussions and practical projects in both the hot and cold shops, students will learn about the properties of glass and how these elements influence perception and design. By the end of the class, students will not only gain technical skills in working with glass but also a deeper appreciation for its transformative potential in art and design. 

What to Expect: Advanced glass blowing skills preferred and some cold shop experience.

Students will leave with new technical knowledge and ideas for developing work in the future, rather than finished objects. The class will be evenly split between demonstrations and practice time. And time will be spent in the hot and cold shops. Read more about how to prepare for class on our Registration Info page.

Handling glass and tools may require a certain level of dexterity and ability to lift 5-10 lbs approximately.  To learn more about accessibility the Accessibility page on our website.

Additional work time for intensive students: Students will also have access to additional hours in the hot shop, without instruction, on Tuesday - Friday from 5-8pm. Students must be able to work safely in the studio, and be able to set up their area without needing instruction. Students participating in student hours will need to be approved by the instructor and TA’s.

Eligibility: Advanced glass blowing skills preferred and some cold shop experience.

Students will leave with new technical knowledge and ideas for developing work in the future, rather than finished objects. The class will be evenly split between demonstrations and practice time. And time will be spent in the hot and cold shops. Open to ages 14 and up.

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.
