Learn the basics of glassblowing by creating handmade ornaments in this cozy winter class! Students will learn how glass is heated and expanded into beautifully unique shapes using a method known as Glaskolben. Each student will be given 10 opportunities with various color choices and will have their successes as finished ornaments at the end of class. Regardless of experience level, all are welcome to stay warm this winter by learning this rewarding and noble craft!

Warning: This class involves glass and open flames. For your safety, please do not wear open-toed shoes or loose/flammable clothing. Long hair should be tied back. Safety equipment will be provided.

Instructor:  CJ has had a passion for glass art since 2019 when he decided to explore and experiment with glass independently. Since then he has worked and taught at several glass studios in the area. He aspires to create unconventional works of art while introducing others to this deep and rewarding craft.
