Ornament Making

Ornaments!
$75/person

A blown ornament or is a great way to begin one's journey with blowing glass. This is a great class to take before attempting a cup or a bowl. It establishes an understanding of gathering and blowing a small bubble as well as an introduction to tool work. As with anything in life, when one good thing leads to another the results get better and better. Keep that in mind when choosing a class!

Class Description: First, there will be a demonstration on how to make an ornament so we are all on the same page! Secondly, you will choose up to 2 colors and will be assisted in developing a pattern. Then you will be expertly guided through all the steps. This is a very hands on process! I am well-versed in teaching of people of all ages and abilities so I can make adjustments on the fly to make experience more suitable for you! Let the fun begin!

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!

  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!
