This class will be focused on advancing your sculpture to a higher level. Suggested 5 years minimum experience with hot glass. Students will learn a variety of techniques including solid and hollow sculpting techniques, how to plan out a large sculpture, working with your team, making many parts to create a whole piece, and dichroic techniques developed by Julia.

What to Expect: There will be some demos but it will mainly be supported work time and room for students to become familiar with this material. Expect failures along with successes. The hot shop is a loud studio, and can get quite warm. Clean-up time is included in the duration of class, and usually the last 20 minutes of class are dedicated to cleaning your workstation. Read more about how to prepare for class on our Registration Info page. Handling glass and tools may require a certain level of dexterity and ability to lift 5-10 lbs approximately. To learn more about accessibility the Accessibility page on our website.

Additional work time for intensive students: Students will also have access to additional hours in the hot shop, without instruction, on Tuesday - Friday from 5-8pm. Students must be able to work safely in the studio, and be able to set up their area without needing instruction. Students participating in student hours will need to be approved by the instructor and TA’s.

Eligibility: Suggested 5 years minimum experience with hot glass. Open to ages 14 and up.

Pick-up: The glass needs to cool down overnight, so the students will have to return to UrbanGlass once notified to pick up their work.

This is an in-person class taking place on-site at UrbanGlass. Health and safety guidelines will be emailed to you upon registration.
