Learn the ancient technique of glass blowing using the same soda lime glass recipe and tools that have been used for a thousand years. Our Craft Center Glass and Fabrication coordinator will guide you in this hands-on workshop. Using a hollow pipe, called a punty, you will learn to gather hot molten glass to prepare and make your own creation at the workbench. Attendees will make paper weights and a small vessel over this 3-session workshop. Please note: All glass projects must go through a kiln for 24 hours, before you can take them home. The instructor will provide you with a pickup date.
