This workshop will explore the use of rollers and a hip slide torch mount to create cups and vessels from borosilicate tubing. Everyone in the class will have shared access to rollers and a hip slide torch mount. Using clear borosilicate tubing (9MM to 50MM OD) will be blowing cups and vessels of assorted shapes and sizes, as well as feet, coils and ring seals. Assembling and detailing with the aid of small hand torches as well.
