Carving out Creatures: Introduction to Sculpting in Borosilicate Glass

with special guest instructor Fran Janal

Manipulate glass into animalistic sculptures that can be turned into pendant jewelry and figurines displays! Additionally they could be applied to functional objects like chopsticks or stirring sticks. The class will focus on providing a menu of base techniques for students to apply to their own imaginations. Students can expect to make one to four sculptures, depending on complexity. Long pants, close toed shoes, and natural fiber clothing required. Ages 16+

Your finished pieces will cool slowly after class and be ready for pickup at a date determined by your instructor. Shipping is available for an additional fee and can be arranged at check-in prior to your workshop.
