In this 2-day intensive you will be guided through the complex process of goblet making. You will learn how to make and build separate parts and assemble them together. Because making complex, combined goblets requires a lot of teamwork and crucial communication, you will also spend time assisting others. This class will showcase mainly traditional Italian style goblet making techniques and applications.  

The class is structured like an intensive course at Pittsburgh Glass Center. On Saturday students have access to practice and work in the studio until 9:00pm. Students receive a 1-hour break for lunch each day. Lunch is not provided. Hot 2, 72 hours of hot shop experience, or instructor permission is required.
