Students will develop an understanding of the wide range of possibilities that exist when working with glass. Through demonstrations and practice in the hot shop, students will acquaint themselves with the tools and materials needed to create forms in glass. Students will begin a hands-on involvement with molten glass working, ladle sand casting, kiln casting, and other glass processes. Working with clear glass, students will develop basic glass blowing skills by learning how to form simple blown shapes such as the sphere, cylinder, disk, and various vessel forms. Individual student skills will be emphasized. Open to students in all disciplines; no prior glassblowing experience necessary.
