Glassblowing | Intermediate to Advanced

Michael Fox

What to make - how to make it!
Turn your concepts and ideas into finished works of art. Take this opportunity to think through and explore a wide range of ideas, and then execute them in the hot shop by blowing or sculpting hot glass. Working with concepts that help us evaluate choice of material and process, eventually eliminating the unnecessary in our work. Using one of the best tools in the shop, OUR MINDS. Technique, process, and shop dynamics will be covered. Bring your ideas and drawings to class and benefit from the fresh evaluations of your classmates. This is not a beginning glassblowing class, so come ready to turn ideas into art.
