This six week introductory course provides a basic foundation to the art of glassblowing. Using specialized tools and equipment, students will learn to gather, shape and inflate the molten glass. Later forms in the series move towards transferring and opening up vessels. Each week students will create a new glass object from paperweights to vases and bowls. 

Taught by a professional glassblower, you will learn about how to safely move around the hot shop and work cooperatively in a team. 

Some cold working instruction will be provided, as well as basic use of colour.
