Phantasms and Lingering Dreams: Flameworking with Abram Deslauriers

Enter into the enchanting world of flameworking with Phantasms and Lingering Dreams, an intensive designed to blend learning technical glass know-how with the surreal landscapes of dreams and the subconscious. Through guided exercises and creative prompts, students will learn to manipulate borosilicate, crafting objects that reflect their innermost phantasms and surreal visions–no previous flameworking experience required.

What to Expect:

Flameworking requires a little practice at heat control with the torch to create successful pieces. After demonstrations, expect to make some successful objects in this class, and a couple failures, while gaining more confidence and skill in the studio. Read more about how to prepare for class on our Registration Info page.

Flameworking can involve a mix of seated and standing activities, including working with glass rods and torches. The environment can be bright and loud at times. Handling glass and tools may require a certain level of dexterity. To learn more about accessibility the Accessibility page on our website.

Eligibility: No previous experience required. Open to ages 14 and up.

Pick-up: The glass needs to cool down overnight, so the students will have to return to UrbanGlass once notified to pick up their work.
