Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this glass sculpture class:

Immerse yourself into the world of solid, hot-sculpted glass in this 5-day intensive class! You will be working in the hot shop with a variety of torches and tools to create detailed artworks, and incorporating various ways to apply color and texture. This course will be a general overview on solid sculpting and assemblage.

What to Expect:

  • Students will focus on learning and improving sculpting techniques and color applications, rather than finalizing several finished pieces during this 5-day intensive.
  • Each day will start with a demonstration, followed by practice time where students can create sculptures based on techniques learned during the demonstration. Demonstration times may vary, but student practice times will be a priority.
  • This class will start with basic sculpting techniques, color applications, and gradually build to more complex sculpting involving parts, texture, and color layering as the week progresses. Hot-sculpting glass requires the use of torches, sculpting tools, and specialty equipment.
Eligibility: Two years of glassblowing experience or an intermediate skill level is recommended.

Pick-up: The glass needs to cool down overnight, so the students will have to return to UrbanGlass once notified to pick up any work made hot on the final day.
