Hot Glass Workshops

Current Schedule

The glass furnace is currently off for the summer… (it’s no fun working in a studio with two 2000 degree furnaces when it’s hot outside).  It will be on again for workshops in late October through the middle of February.

Workshop Times

Your own private workshop can begin between 9 AM and noon on Mondays through Saturdays or on Sundays beginning at 1 PM.

Workshop Details

At each private workshop participants begin by assisting me on a demonstration piece to become familiar with handling the various tools. After the initial demo, each participant (up to four individuals) takes a turn to create their own form. This piece can be a variety of solid shapes – which can be viewed prior to the workshop. By working with a solid mass of glass, each person is guaranteed to end up with a completed piece. Since the glass needs to be annealed (slowly cooled) overnight and then ground flat, the finished pieces may be picked up two days later. People who wish to make a blown form can do so at a subsequent workshop or take the Complete Workshop where they work on a blown form after their solid piece is finished. 

Gift Certificates

A hot glass workshop can be a unique gift.  I will create and email you a certificate which can be redeemed at my studio. View a sample workshop certificate here. Call for details or to make the purchase with a credit card.
