Waiting to hear from Grae the actual TIMES of the class. His submission just said 3 hours~tt

In this introductory class you'll learn to work with our propane / oxygen torches and borosilicate glass to make simple marbles.

We'll start with a safety orientation & introduction to our lampworking tools and equipment. You will learn to:

• Collect a gather,
• Attach and detach punties, 
• Shape molten glass using gravity, surface tension, marble moulds, and other shaping tools,
• Use colored glass to make simple designs.

Completing this class and demonstrating competence with the lampworking tools and equipment will check you off for lampworking on your Glass Studio skills card.

Heads up: it's recommended to work standing up (rather than sitting), so be advised that you'll be on your feet for much of class. If you prefer to sit it's strongly recommended to bring a leather apron in case of hot rolling marbles.
