Introduction to Glassblowing

We all have to start somewhere! This course will introduce students to beginning glass blowing techniques and proper studio safety practices. Students will learn to gather glass, learn about the proper usage of glassblowing tools, how to create basic shapes and glass-blown forms, and how to work in a team setting. Class time will be divided between demonstrations and supervised work time. This course is designed for students with no experience or very minimal knowledge of glassblowing skills. No previous classes are required for this course.
