Working with blown glass requires an intense focus and a willingness to learn from our mistakes. As a beginner it is hard to understand which operation to perform at the right time. This class will help you to understand the inherent qualities of glass so that you can use those characteristics to your advantage in the hot shop. We will then apply this information to traditional shapes and forms while moving through the process with efficiency and care. Jarrod's goal is to provide you with the knowledge and timing to be in the ""right"" place to perform the ""right"" operation to achieve predictable results on the pipe. Please come with an open mind and an eagerness to learn and have fun!
