This class is designed to give you a rudimentary technical base from which your work can progress.

We will pull points and use jacks and ellipse shears to manipulate borosilicate tubing. Blown forms of varied shape, scale, and difficulty will be the main focus. Colorful glass will be added into the demo repertoire as we gain technical competency.

Demonstrations will focus on small and medium-scale blown forms with an emphasis on symmetry and formal quality. We will also work through techniques specific to the individual interests of each student. Some exercises will be assigned to achieve specific goals.   

Students are expected to have some familiarity with the torch and hand tools. Instructor permission is required for beginning students. Please email melissa@pittsburghglasscenter.org with any questions about pre-requisites.
