Please note: The times for the Intensives have changed. Beginning in April, Intensives will run from 10am-4pm.
Our Glassblowing Intensives cover all the basic tools and techniques of glassblowing in a single day. Great for those considering a six week class but unsure of all that's involved in working this molten material, our intensives pack a lot of information in a little time. As with the paperweight classes, beginners are welcome.
Working in teams of 2 (if you don't register with a partner, we can pair you up), our goal is for each student to complete one piece of blown glass "on their own." Repeating the intensive is encouraged. Upon completion of your 2nd intensive you will receive a coupon good for 3 free hours of blow time in the hotshop. That's a $114 value! Class will break for 30 minutes for lunch, so please bring a sack lunch!
