Event description

This two-day class is for anyone who would like to learn flameworking skills either as a one-time experience, or to learn a new technique that you can add to your skill set in your creative practice.

  • Day 1: We will practice a number or flameworking techniques in solid glass and one small blown item.
  • Day 2: We will use the skills learned in day one to create your very own small sculpture using. The majority of this form will be solid clear glass.

There will be a break for lunch each day between 12:30pm – 1:30pm.
