Virtual Open Studios Beach Day - Saturday

With the energy of a summer day at the beach in mind, we will take you through three demonstrations in our studio showcasing a variety of glassmaking techniques. Demonstrations will be narrated by an expert glass artist explaining the process you are watching, followed by a Q & A session. Demonstrations will include:

Sandcasting: Ladling hot glass into impressions made in sand to create objects in that form.

Fusing: Cutting, layering and fusing colorful sheet glass using the heat of a kiln to create functional and sculptural objects.

Flameworking: Heating, melting and sculpting glass rods and tubes in the flame of a torch to create wearable beads or small-scale sculptures.

In between each demo, participate in a fun, hands-on activity, inspired by the many colors of glass, that you can create in your own home as you watch!
