Simple Goblets with Murrine & Stringers

In this exciting, NEW, intermediate class, we will construct a simple, three-piece goblet, with added surface decorations of simple, student-made murinne and Stringers! All these easy techniques have been created to help the students understand the creation of simple murrini.

Hot plate torched pickups and easy to pull Stringer Demonstrations will be performed in a simple and efficient format strategically designed without traditional complications! This class will advance your skills and understanding of glassblowing to move you to the next level. Please join us for this exciting and fun filled class.

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: This is for intermediate level students, previous glassblowing skills 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. 

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.
