Make it POP! (Intro to Color Drops)

Do you like color? Wanna make your glass pop? This one day class will be a crash course in color application using color bar. Students will learn how to receive and set up color drops, and how to produce an even desperation of color on a blown out form. The goal of this class is not to leave with a finished product but rather go over techniques that can be explored further outside the course.

What to Expect: Students will work together and learn to manipulate molten glass (2000 degrees). Safety and tools will all be covered in a fun and exciting environment. The hot shop is a loud studio, and can get quite warm. Glassblowing involves a variety of activities including sitting, standing, and working with hot glass. The environment can be very hot and loud at times. Handling glass and tools may require a certain level of dexterity and ability to lift 5-10 lbs approximately. Clean-up time is included in the duration of class, and usually the last 20 minutes of class are dedicated to cleaning your workstation. Read more about how to prepare for class on our Registration Info page.  To learn more about accessibility the Accessibility page on our website.

Eligibility: Previous glassblowing skills required. To get the most out of this class, students should be proficient gathering glass out of the furnace and popping a bubble.  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.
