Bud Vase

Bud Vases!
Small $105/person
Large $135/person

Bud vases are lot of fun to make! In theory, these are a little bit easier to make than a bowl or cup, but we will still run through the main components of blowing glass. If you're into displaying fresh flowers from your garden or favorite local grower, then this is the right glassblowing experience for you! 

Class description: We'll start off with a demonstration from yours truly. You will learn the basics of glassblowing: the tools and how to use them, how to move with the glass, and how to inflate it. Then you will select 2-3 colors to make your lil vase pop. I will guide you the rest of the way to create your very own one-of-a-kind piece of art!

GUIDELINES

  1. Please arrive about 15-20 minutes early to your scheduled class.
  2. Minimum per class is 4 people. If you have fewer than that, individuals may be added to fill the class or your group may be scheduled back to back with another small group. Let's all be friends!
  3. Each group must select the same thing to make. This helps with the overall rhythm of the workshop because I will be demonstrating what you are making at the beginning of the session, so its good we are all on the same page!
  4. Everyone must sign a waiver. Glassblowing can be dangerous but trust in us to keep you safe, we've been doing this a long time!
  5. We take a 50% deposit upfront to hold your spot in the calendar and if you decide to cancel you must do it at least 7 days in advance or you lose your deposit. This is a very time sensitive and expensive art so ample time for us to fill our schedule is a top priority. 
  6. Any special requirements for any individuals must be acknowledged upon scheduling so we can make the proper arrangements to give everyone a great and safe time. An extra glass artist may be needed to help.
  7. Everyone must wear closed-toe shoes. NO SANDALS. Save those toes for the beach!
  8. Finished work will be ready for pick up after 48 hours.
  9. Let's have some fun!

 

Lastly

Blowing glass is a fascinating medium. It's a material that you can never truly touch with your hands. It takes specialized tools that are centuries old in design. Nothing feels more amazing than grabbing molten glass with a large pair of tweezers and stretching it out. It is truly a bizarre and fascinating world to experience!
