We all have to start somewhere! This course introduces students to beginning glass-blowing techniques and proper studio safety practices. Students will learn how to gather glass, the proper usage of glassblowing tools, how to create basic shapes and glass-blown forms, and how to work in a team setting. Class time will be divided between demonstrations and supervised work time. This course is designed for students with no experience or minimal knowledge of glassblowing skills. No previous classes are required for this course.

*Registration includes access to Student Open Blow on Friday evenings from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. during the run time of the class.
