Paperweight Party: Drawing with Glass! (July)
July 19th, 5:00 pm – 8:00 pmLena Luo |
Students will work together and learn to manipulate molten glass (2000+ degrees). Safety, color application, and tools will all be covered in a fun and exciting environment. The Paperweight Party in July will include instructions on how to create basic drawings on the paperweights with glass stringers!
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. Read more about how to prepare for class on our Registration Info page. To learn more about accessibility the Accessibility page on our website.
Clean-up time is included in the duration of class, and usually the last 20 minutes of class are dedicated to cleaning your workstation.
Eligibility: No previous experience required. 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.
This is an in-person class taking place on-site at UrbanGlass. Health and safety guidelines will be emailed to you upon registration.
We recommend registering for classes early to reserve your spot! We base materials, and teacher needs off of student enrollment. Early registration not only guarantees your spot in class, but also helps to ensure the class will run. Classes with low enrollment may be cancelled within two weeks of the start date of class. Contact our Registrar of Education, Ari Eshoo, at arianna@urbanglass.org if you have questions about the class or would like to arrange a payment plan.
