The Process Revealed
Safety & Preparation
Before approaching the equipment, we cover essential safety protocols and familiarize you with the tools. Understanding the studio environment is the foundation of confident glassblowing.
Gathering & Coloring
Extract liquid glass from the intense heat of the furnace. We will guide you through the motions to keep the glass centered before rolling it in crushed colored frit to personalize your design.
Shaping & Blowing
Introduce air to expand the form. Using wooden blocks, wet newspaper, and steel jacks, you will physically shape the piece as it cools, reheating as necessary.
The Annealing Phase
Finished pieces must cool slowly overnight in a specialized kiln to prevent shattering. Your creation will be ready for collection the following day.
Secure Your Spot
Spaces are strictly limited to maintain a high instructor-to-student ratio. Reach out to coordinate dates and reserve your time on the bench.
