This focused skills workshop is designed to help students develop greater consistency and confidence when forming, accepting, and working with punties. Emphasis is placed on creating clean, appropriately sized punties that support smooth transfers and efficient finishing.Through demonstration, repetition, and individualized feedback, students will practice shaping controlled punties, evaluating their suitability, and learning when to accept or refuse a punty during the transfer process. Instruction also addresses strategies that reduce excess cold work and support cleaner knock-offs.
This workshop is structured as a skills-and-drills session; students should not expect to complete a finished piece. The primary outcomes are improved control during punty formation and transfer, stronger assisting skills in a team-based studio environment, and increased efficiency throughout the glassblowing process.
This multi-level workshop is open to students who have completed Introduction to Glassblowing at Waterfall Arts or an equivalent 16-hour introductory course at another studio. More experienced students are also welcome and may use this session to isolate and refine a core skill that continues to develop throughout a glassblower’s practice. Students may benefit from attending this workshop more than once.
Students who are new to glassblowing and have not yet worked with hot glass should begin with an Experience or Introduction to Glassblowing class before enrolling in this workshop.
