Move between the cold shop and kilns to explore innovative new approaches to working with dichroic glass.
Dates: July 28 - August 2, 2025. One-Week Intensive Class.
Technique: Cold Working, kiln forming, slumping into custom-made molds, sandblasting.
Level: All Levels. No glassworking experience is required.
Price: $1075
A full foundation of cold working processes will be established including inventive approaches to sandblasting. From there, move to slumping and use the versatile and affordable Cricut Cutter machine to make custom drop-out molds and use borosilicate sheet as a tool to slump 96 COE glass. UV-cured and epoxy adhesives will also be covered.
By working small, one can efficiently investigate new ideas, acquire broader skills, and make forms that can be studies for larger work or finished as jewelry. This week will be rich with information relevant for the beadmaker, glass jeweler, and sculptor alike, and we’ll have some laughs along the way.
For more information, please contact The Studio at +1 607.438.5100 or fill out the contact form.
