Borosilicate: Clear Glass Floral Bouquet

About the event

By observing nature from fossils and remnants of the past, we'll be working to create glass elements that evoke fossils using a contemporary approach. Crafting a glass flower is an act of preserving nature's beauty, of freezing a moment in time. Glass flowers have long been cherished in both art and science - this is an opportunity to learn how to craft these iconic pieces.

Who is this for: Adults

What you will gain:  In this workshop, students will:

  1. Learn to shape and manipulate solid glass rods.
  2. Form solid glass using graphite plates and mashers.
  3. Master the bridging technique for clean, complex welds.

Please ensure your clothing fits snugly, especially with long sleeves, to minimize risks and ensure your safety. Aprons Provided: You will be provided with an apron that must be worn at all times in the studio to protect your clothing. Jewelry and Watches: Please remove any dangling jewelry and bulky watches to prevent accidents during the workshop. Hair Safety: If you have long hair, we ask that you tie it back securely.
