Hot Glass Sculpture Workshop

Create glass sculpture by melting and fusing glass rods over a hot torch flame.

This workshop introduces you to the basics of flameworking with boro silicate glass rods, including how to safely operate a gas-fueled torch and shape solid glass rods. You will explore techniques for melting and forming glass while gaining a better understanding of heat control and movement.

This workshop is a great introduction for beginners and a fun skill-builder for returning glass students.
