About

Coldworking is a way of altering and sculpting glass once cold - from seaming edges to complete transformations. In this technical workshop, you'll review and expand your knowledge of coldworking, cover safety procedures, and learn the proper uses of tools.

Please come to class with two separate types of glass. You're encouraged to bring in found object glass such as bottles, jugs, bowls, jewelry, and miniature sculptures. Also bring in a handmade object such as a fusing, pattern bar, murrini, or casting.

This is a rare opportunity to learn from Jason Chakravarty, a critically acclaimed glass artist whose work can be seen in galleries nationwide. , Budding glass artists can receive an expert's advice on best practices to complete a project with a professional finish.
