Flameworked Icicles and Ornament Workshop

In this beginner friendly workshop, we will use gas torches to melt crystal clear borosilicate class and add color to create hanging ornaments that have unique patterns and special effects. The focus will be on making several types of hanging icicles wih beautiful curves and elegant shape. Other types of hanging ornaments will also be demonstrated, such as a starfish. Instruction will be provided on safety, how to work with hot glass, add color, and shape it into a graceful icicle about 6 inches in size. Your creations will be annealed in a kiln after class and be ready for you to pick up in about a week. Or, you have the option to skip the annealing and take your art home at the end of class.
