If you already have been dipping your toes into the exciting world of blowing glass on the torch, and want to delve even deeper, then this class is for you! This is a three day intensive course for intermediate and advanced lampworkers to learn how to blow, sculpt and refine the individual elements of stemware and goblets including the foot, stem and cup. There will be a focus on how to create strong joins between these elements and assemble bigger blown pieces. But this isn’t just for goblets, these skills can be applied to all sorts of creative blown sculptures and functional pieces.
