This workshop aims to build a bridge between the scientific aspects of glassblowing and one’s emotional connection to the material. Through traditional techniques and experimental approaches, students will develop their ability to communicate with glass, tap into their intuition, and infuse their work with individuality. Class discussions, demonstrations, and student-led projects will explore how meaning is created through the interaction between oneself and the material.

Ignite your creativity in the hot shop learning Swedish overlay, stuff cups, and color techniques. But wait, there's more fun in store! Head to the cold shop to take the lathe for a spin, trying cameo and graal engraving, inciso, and battuto. Throughout the class, hands-on and personalized instruction will boost your skills. Get ready for a journey that's both enjoyable and enlightening!


Crossing between the flame studio and the hot shop, students will work with soft glass to create intricately patterned murrine. These can then be used to create small sculptural objects, wearables, or components for larger designs. Beginning with technical exercises, this workshop will lay the foundation for sculpting soft glass at the torch and introduce techniques to connect lampworking and glassblowing.


Glass is a fantastic medium for dreaming up new ways to bend space, stretch time, and renew a sense of wonder. This workshop will explore the linear complexities and the unique spatial qualities of glass. Working in both the hot and cold shops, students will be challenged to look at the relationship of form, pattern, balance, and color through discussions, problem solving, and hands-on exercises.


This workshop revolves around a sequence of provocations closely tied to the world of pattern, print, surface, and form combined with the process of glass powder screenprinting. Students will firstly acquire the skills to screenprint with powdered glass before the playground begins and they are invited to disrupt, break, alter, subvert, and challenge conventions to create a range of dynamic glass projects.
