Slumping, Draping and Shaping


An excellent follow-on to our beginner class, this workshop focuses on adding shape to your glass.

You'll learn about how kilns work, basic firing schedules, and how to program a kiln for the desired results - including multiple methods for using the heat of the kiln to turn a flat piece of glass into a three dimensional object.

The primary class projects will be a slumped bowl, a handkerchief vase, and a "drop-out" vessel – all that you design and create using multiple firings.



Includes: •  8 hours instruction & work time
•  Glass and supplies needed to complete class projects
•  Use of necessary tools
•  All kiln firings
•  Unlimited free "studio-time" for class projects

Class Size: 8 students (max)

Tuition: $175   Includes all glass. No tools to buy.
