Get Sticky: Glass Production with Grace Whiteside & Isaac Tecosky

In this 5-day glassblowing intensive, students will design and produce their own line of unique glass products. We will work through initial sketches, efficient production strategies, and marketing/pricing concepts as we get Sticky with all aspects of product development. Students will get hands-on experience with prototyping sessions guided by Grace Whiteside and Isaac Tecosky, and work together to streamline their production process. This is primarily a hot shop based class with a little access to coldworking. Bring your wild ideas to the hot shop as we work together to bring concepts to fruition.

What to Expect: Students will work in teams in the studio. Class will be split between demonstrations, conversations, and student work time. Read more about how to prepare for class on our Registration Info page.

Additional work time for intensive students: Students will also have access to additional hours in the glassblowing studio, without instruction, on Wednesday - Saturday from 1-4pm.

Eligibility: Previous glassblowing experience required. You should have 1-2 years of experience, and feel comfortable gathering and moving through the steps of making a basic cup. Don’t feel ready yet? Check out our more introductory classes to build your skills. Open to ages 14 and up.

Pick-up: You can expect to bring some work to fruition during class that can be taken home at the end of the week. If anything is made on the last day of class, students will have to return to UrbanGlass once notified to pick up their work.
