Learning how to make Paperweights will give you the knowledge and experience to open the doors to making all sorts of fun solid objects in the glassblowing studio. In the Glass studio you can make all sorts of items, the only limitation is your imagination. Learning how to work with solid will help you master the art of glassblowing
This is one of our most hands on workshops, where you will gather glass out of the furnace, carry that glass around the studio and manipulate it to make your own paperweight. Our instructor will demonstrate the process and the tools to making a glass paperweight and then will work with each student for them to walk through all the steps to making your own glass paperweight.
From gathering your own molten glass, to adding colors shaping and finishing, you get a real hands on experience into making objects with glass.
In this 3 hour workshop we will make between 4 and 5 paperweights per student (depending on time). The first paperweights we will make out of clear glass and the subsequent will be made with your choice of colors.
If you enjoy the process of working with glass from this workshop, we encourage you to sign up for more, as practice makes perfect. We also offer an intro to glass workshop which focuses on specific techniques to make you a better glassblower.
Safety is our number 1 priority here in the glass studio, so please make sure to READ the following:
1. Dress comfortably, but do not wear any synthetic clothing. (i.e. polyester, nylon, rayon, etc.)
2. Closed toed shoes are required in the glass studio. (No open toed sandals or shoes.)
3. It gets hot in the glass studio so bring a water bottle to keep hydrated (We have free water available)
If at any point our instructor notices someone being unsafe in the studio, we reserve the right to have said person removed from the class.
