Glassblowing

Boyd Sugiki & Lisa Zerkowitz / Intermediate

During the first week of this course students will refine skills by focusing on basic forms such as the tumbler, cylinder, bottle, and bowl. Concentrating on these shapes will help students build a solid foundation for the future so that they can create their own unique pieces in glass. The second week of the workshop will emphasize individual ideas, concepts and designs in glass. We will do a class collaboration to stress the importance of working together in teams.
