About

We'll start with a safety orientation and 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, allowing you to use them during open studio.

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, we strongly recommend you bring your own leather apron in case of hot, rolling marbles.
